Experience the exceptional quality of Oakmoss Absolute, a must-have for any perfume artisan. This high-quality ingredient is IFRA-compliant and originates from Grasse, France - the perfume capital of the world.
Oakmoss Absolute is an essential ingredient with perfumery that provides a deep, exquisite character to accords. Its long-lasting effects make it perfect for use as a fixative in masculine blends or to round out floral notes.
The lichen Evernia prunastri grows on oak and some pine trees in mountainous regions of Morocco and some Balkan countries. The lichen used in this absolute was wild-collected in Morocco and dried, then underwent hexane-free extraction in France.
For best results, start with a 1% concentration and adjust upward in small increments. It's vital to note that non-IFRA-compliant Oakmoss absolutes may be available at a lower price point, but they contain high levels of Atranol and/or Chloroatranol (>100ppm) and are not recommended for use in perfumes or skin products. The highest-quality specimens will be hexane-free solvent-extracted, and IFRA-compliant.
