Oakmoss
An earthy, forest-floor note historically essential to classic "chypre" perfumery.
Origin
A lichen that grows on oak trees, primarily harvested in the Balkans and France; usage is now regulated in fine fragrance due to allergen concerns, so modern versions are often reformulated.
Character
Damp, earthy, and slightly bitter with a forest-floor quality — traditionally the anchor of chypre fragrances alongside bergamot and labdanum.
