Note: This is IFRA compliant and our recommended go to oakmoss.
One of the downsides to the restriction on oakmoss being coupled with the need to remove certain chemicals from it is that you can be left with a somewhat flaccid absolute. The great Laboratoire Monique Remy (LMR) has solved this problem with this molecular distilled IFRA compliant oakmoss absolute. The material is as colourless as oakmoss can get (being a very pale orange) but it punches well above its pay grade. It is pre-diluted by LMR at the laboratory in non-natural triethyl citrate so it is not suitable for natural perfumers.
While we love pure unadulterated green Oakmoss for non-commercial use, this special molecular distilled product is our general oakmoss of choice. It is rich, intense, longer lastinging than all others (so much so it is almost hard to believe) and truest to the scent of the classic green Yugoslavian oakmoss used in the original Chypre by Coty.
If you only buy one oakmoss, this is the one.
We also stock original pure and natural non-IFRA compliant green oakmoss absolute from the former Yugoslovia, diluted to 50% in natural triethyl citrate for your convenience, making it suitable for natural fragrances.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.

Oakmoss DEC Abs MD 55% TEC, An Indepth Look:
Oakmoss products are used extensively in perfumery. They form important parts of the notes in all fougere, chypre, or “moss” perfumes, and they are common ingredients in colognes, crepe de Chines, forest notes, new mown hay, pine fragrances, lavender bouqets, Oriental bases, fancy or modern bases, etc. They 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, most oakmoss products are, in reality, mixtures of oakmoss and treemoss products, the latter being less green in color, but also different in odor and less aromatic than true oakmoss.

Customer Reviews
Oakmoss reminds me of deep old growth forest. There are scenes in Tolkien’s trilogy that evoke these deep earthy smells for me. On the East Coast (US), we hiked and camped on the Appalachian Trail as kids, and later teenagers. We trekked through the pines in Pennsylvania, over the Cumberland Gap into Maryland then on to the blue blaze trails that follow a ridge into Harpers Ferry. The smells of the forest on a summer evening with a small wood fire glazing over your senses drags you into a tent under the stars. Your fingers feel a little crispy with sweat and dirt, mixed with the smoke and ash from cooking, boiling rice and beans, and wood smoked coffee black from a tin cup. If you can’t smell it, maybe you’re coming down with the covid, eh? And your nose will stop working completely in another 12/24 hours. But in the morning you rise up the slopes southward leading into the skyline drive while a light dry snow blows crisp chips across your face. You know it’s early fall. The crisp brown-leaf nip will break into a late summer afternoon as clouds bunch up into cotton puffs again. The sensuousness of this smell, the scent. No wonder it’s banned all over. Any thing any good always turns out to be bad for you. And then they take it away! Listen enjoy this prestigious shop. They have everything you need to create something truly great!
Perfection! This is what I was looking for and I find myself reaching out for it all the time.
