Original designation: Mousse de chêne ABS véritable LA 1219 - CQ257
Evernia prunastri
Purified or genuine-designated oakmoss still speaks in the unmistakable vocabulary of lichen on bark: green darkness, salt air, leather, hay and wet wood. In a vintage palette it offers the kind of complex natural modulation that a single moss molecule cannot imitate.
