IFRA Moss Residue

Original designation: Mousse résidu IFRA

An IFRA-marked moss material belongs to a processed perfumery lineage rather than a promise of any current compliance status. Sensorially it can offer the dry, woody and leathered architecture that makes moss indispensable to chypre and fougere design.

Extraction & expression

Fractionation isolates a particular register of a larger material. Heads and terpene cuts tend toward lift; hearts focus the central identity; body and bottom cuts gather weight, shadow and less-volatile depth. A residue is the remaining, lower-volatility register after another separation, valuable for shadow, texture and unusual weight.
