In perfumery vocabulary, Moss Absolute is associated with mossy, earthy, woody, leathery, green and smoky. Its creative role is a deep base-note material with architectural presence, giving structure and character to complex accords.
In the organ, use it to build construct a forest base, enrich give chypres natural depth and introduce shade florals with earth. As base note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.
Absolute extraction preserves a broad, saturated portrait of the source. Traditionally, fragrant biomass is first solvent-extracted and the resulting concrete or resinoid is purified with alcohol, giving perfumers a dense material rich in less-volatile facets.
A vintage material for contemporary creation
Preserved within the Maison Orris collection assembled by 2006, this material opens a door to an earlier era of perfumery. An uncommon voice from legendary perfumery heritage, made for mature, daring compositions—a scent from the past, ready to inspire something entirely new.
