Description
Oakmoss is a fragrant lichen that grows on the bark of oak trees. It has a rich, earthy, and slightly mossy aroma with hints of wood and forest floor. Oakmoss is prized for its use in classic chypre and fougère fragrances, and is often blended with other notes like bergamot, patchouli, and labdanum.
How it feels

Oakmoss is often blended with citrus, floral, and woody notes to create a well-rounded, complex fragrance.
