Oakmoss Absolute is a deeply grounding, forest-scented extract derived from the lichen Evernia prunastri, harvested sustainably from tree bark in European forests. With its rich, earthy aroma and velvety green notes, Oakmoss Absolute is a prized base note in high-end perfumery, widely known for its role in creating luxurious chypre, fougère, and oriental fragrance blends. Its scent profile combines mossy, woody, and slightly leathery tones, making it an essential ingredient for adding depth, complexity, and excellent fixative qualities to perfumes.
In addition to its aromatic sophistication, Oakmoss Absolute offers therapeutic benefits in aromatherapy. It is used to promote emotional grounding, ease stress, and support inner calm—making it ideal for meditation blends and calming body oils. Its antiseptic and skin-conditioning properties also make it a popular addition in natural skincare products, particularly in soaps, balms, and earthy-scented lotions. Due to its potency, it should always be diluted before topical application.
Perfect for natural perfumers, skincare formulators, and aromatherapists, Oakmoss Absolute adds a touch of timeless elegance and earth-bound serenity to any creation. Whether you’re crafting a signature fragrance, grounding essential oil blend, or eco-luxury skin product, this absolute delivers both high performance and natural beauty.
