What it smells like

Oakmoss smells damp, earthy and mossy, like a forest floor after rain, with a dark, bittersweet, slightly leathery and salty undertone. It has a cool, green, shadowy depth that feels natural and slightly mysterious. It is a classic base note of chypre fragrances, anchoring bright citrus and florals with a deep, lasting woodland richness. Its use is limited by modern regulations, so many contemporary fragrances suggest it with other materials.

Oakmoss is listed in 747 perfumes in this directory. It is most often used as a base note (93% of its appearances). It is most often paired with bergamot, jasmine, musk and patchouli.
