Oakmoss Oil, also known as Oakmoss Absolute, is derived from the lichen Evernia prunastri, which primarily grows on the bark of oak trees in European forests. This absolute is cherished in perfumery for its rich, earthy, and woody aroma with mossy, slightly smoky undertones, making it a perfect base note for high-end fragrances. Extracted via solvent extraction, Oakmoss Oil is highly concentrated, adding depth and longevity to scents.
