Product Benefits

Mood of the Woodland

Brings the cool hush of an old oak grove into urban interiors. A few drops shift the room from busy to restorative.

Natural Fixative

Slows the evaporation of brighter top notes in handmade perfumes. Lets citrus, florals and herbs bloom for longer on skin and fabric.

Cozy Autumn Ritual

Pairs beautifully with cooler seasons, knit blankets and candlelight. Often used to mark the shift from summer brightness into reflective months.

Masculine Wardrobe Note

A classic ingredient in barbershop and fougère accords. Adds quiet sophistication to beard oils, solid colognes and aftershave splashes.

Linen and Drawer Scenting

A single drop on a wood block infuses wardrobes with a forest-fresh undertone. Lifts stale air without overwhelming the senses.

Creative Focus Companion

Its earthy depth pairs well with study desks and art studios. Can be a helpful part of a self-care ritual around long, focused work.

How to use

Forest Floor Diffusion

🏅 Headline
Turn an ordinary evening into a walk through a misted oak grove.

✨ What you need
- Ultrasonic diffuser
- water as per device
- Oakmoss Absolute
- optional cedarwood and bergamot

🤷‍♀️ How to do it
1. 1. Fill diffuser with water to its mark. 2. Add 1 drop Oakmoss Absolute. 3. Add 2 drops cedarwood and 2 drops bergamot if using. 4. Run for 30–45 minutes in a ventilated room.

💡 Pro tip
Oakmoss is potent and viscous — warm the bottle in your hand for a minute so the drop releases cleanly.

🕜 Best time
Late afternoon into early evening, especially in autumn or winter.

😍 What to expect
A low, damp-wood aroma that settles the room. Conversations soften, breathing deepens, time appears to slow.

🏅 Headline

✨ What you need
- 10 g jojoba oil
- 2 g beeswax pastilles
- small tin
- Oakmoss Absolute
- bergamot
- rose absolute
- patchouli

🤷‍♀️ How to do it
1. 1. Gently melt beeswax into jojoba over a water bath. 2. Remove from heat and cool slightly. 3. Add 2 drops Oakmoss, 4 drops bergamot, 2 drops rose, 1 drop patchouli (≈1% total). 4. Pour into tin and let set for 2 hours.

💡 Pro tip
Pre-dilute Oakmoss 10% in jojoba first — it makes drop counting and blending far more accurate.

🕜 Best time
Quiet weekend afternoon dedicated to making something by hand.

😍 What to expect
A green-mossy, citrus-kissed solid perfume that warms on skin and lasts for hours.

🏅 Headline
A discreet way to bring forest air into folded clothes and linens.

💡 Pro tip
Refresh with a single drop every 3–4 weeks; less is always more with this absolute.

🕜 Best time
Seasonal wardrobe rotations in spring and autumn.

😍 What to expect
A subtle woodland whisper rising from clothes as you dress, never perfume-heavy, always grounding.

BLEND IDEAS

Old Forest Chypre

Purpose

  • A classical, grounding perfume mood for evenings and reflective moments.

  • Recipe

In 10 ml jojoba: 1 drop Oakmoss Absolute, 4 drops bergamot, 2 drops rose absolute, 1 drop patchouli (≈1% dilution).

After-Rain Diffuser

  • Recipe

In diffuser: 1 drop Oakmoss, 3 drops cedarwood Atlas, 2 drops lavender, 1 drop vetiver.

From Old Oaks to Old Perfumeries

A lichen that has scented Europe's finest fragrances for over a century.

- Evernia prunastri grows slowly on oak bark across the forests of Central and Southern Europe, drinking only mist, rain and time.

- Harvested lichen is solvent-extracted into a dark, syrupy absolute — the prized chypre and fougère base of classical perfumery.

- Its scent is unmistakable: damp earth, weathered bark, leather shadows and a soft green hush of the forest floor.

SAFETY

Dillution guideline

  • Use at very low dilution, typically 0.1–0.2% on skin. IFRA restricts oakmoss in leave-on products; respect category limits.

  • Patch test

Apply a diluted drop to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use.

  • Children

Not recommended for children under 6; use only in light room diffusion in homes with older children.

  • Pregnancy

Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless advised by a qualified aromatherapist.

  • Pets

Keep diffusion light and the room ventilated; avoid use around cats, birds and small mammals.

  • Photosensitivity

Not typically associated with photosensitivity.

  • Ingestion

Do not ingest unless under qualified professional guidance.

  • Storage

Store tightly sealed in a cool, dark place; the absolute is thick and may need gentle warming before use.
