Evernia Prunastri

Evernia Prunastri is used extensively in perfumery.

Used to form important parts of the notes in all fougere, chypre and moss perfumes, and commonly found in colognes, crepe de Chines, forest notes, new mown hay, pine fragrances, lavender bouquets, oriental bases, fancy or modern bases, etc.

It can lend body and naturalness, rich pleasant undertones and high fixative value in numerous types of floral fragrances as well.

The Absolutes are the most versatile in perfumery use. Their solubility and great power make them the most popular forms of oakmoss extract.

The absolute from benzene extraction is very dark green, viscous or semi-solid, while the absolute from petroleum ether extracted concrete is liquid and brownish-green, less intense in color.

Furthermore, in reality, mixtures of the essential oil and treemoss products, the latter being less green in color, but also different in odour.

The scientific name for Oakmoss essential oil is Evernia Prunastri.

Oak moss essential oil is first extracted using a solvent extraction method, which yields a concrete and then completed by a vacuum distillation method to arrive at the Absolute, which is on offer here.

For professional advice on using essential oils for medical conditions, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional.

Very Substantive.

This is much cleaner and visually nicer than Oakmoss Absolute in IPM.
