Original designation: Mousse DEC ABS IFF LA 5200

Evernia prunastri

Decolorization edits appearance and may refine part of the aromatic profile, yet the essential oakmoss language remains: damp wood, mineral air, leather and forest-floor depth. It is a compelling bridge between classical chypre structure and a more luminous palette.

Extraction & expression

Absolute extraction preserves a broad, saturated portrait of the source. Traditionally, fragrant biomass is first solvent-extracted and the resulting concrete or resinoid is purified with alcohol, giving perfumers a dense material rich in less-volatile facets. Decolourisation reduces visual pigments and can reveal a cleaner-toned aromatic profile.

Technology recorded for this material

Decolourisation records treatment to reduce colour. It may also alter composition, so colourlessness is not presented as proof of purity.
Alcohol washing dissolves the aromatic fraction in ethanol, then uses chilling and filtration to separate waxes and heavier insolubles. This is a defining route from many concretes or resinoids to absolutes.

These process marks describe selective transformation. They can support a premium grade, but do not alone certify present condition, purity or universal superiority.

Archive age and character

Produced in 1999, this material is now 27 years old. It carries the character of an earlier perfumery era and invites close smelling on the blotter and in formula, where time has made its expression singular.
