Oakmoss Absolute

Original designation: Mousse chêne ABS

Evernia prunastri

Oakmoss absolute is a complete landscape in miniature, damp bark, cool mineral air, seaweed, leather and smoke folded into one long-lived green shadow. Its power is not only its scent, but the way it makes an entire formula feel more natural and dimensional.

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.
