Oakmoss

Oakmoss is a lichen that grows primarily on oak trees in the mountainous regions of Europe and North America. In perfumery, it is valued for its rich, earthy, and woody aroma with hints of moss and bark, lending a deep and grounding quality to fragrances. Oakmoss is a key ingredient in chypre and fougère fragrances, providing a dark, velvety base note that enhances the complexity and longevity of the scent. Its scent profile is often described as green, slightly leathery, and subtly sweet, making it a popular choice for creating sophisticated and timeless perfumes.
