Moss / Lichen

Oakmoss Resinoid

Original designation: Mousse chêne RDE

Evernia prunastri

Oakmoss resinoid places the forest floor inside a darker resinous frame. The familiar mossy, leathery and mineral facets feel broader and more balsamic, ideal for compositions that require mass as well as atmosphere.
