    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

    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.

    IFRA Standards

    For Trade Use Only

    Our products are intended as building blocks in the perfume creation process; they are not to be applied to the skin undiluted.

    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.
