Moss MD Bottom Fraction

Original designation: Mousse DM Culots

A bottom fraction points toward the least volatile, most tenacious register of a moss extraction. Expect inspiration in density and shadow (earth, smoke, leather and damp wood) while the actual lot must always be smelled on its own terms.

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. Molecular or short-path distillation selects the profile under high vacuum, often refining colour and separating lighter from heavier registers. A bottom cut explores the darker, heavier and less-volatile end of the material.

Technology recorded for this material

  • Molecular distillation uses high vacuum and a short vapour path to separate selected fractions with limited thermal exposure, an advanced route for controlling difficult aromatic materials.

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