Oakmoss Absolute
A lichen, usually found growing on oak trees, and sometimes
on other species such as spruce and pine. It is a viscous liquid with
an extremely intense aroma reminiscent of a damp forest floor. Its odor
is uplifting, cooling and calming; it is reputed as an aphrodisiac. This
oil has antiseptic and expectorant qualities. Not advisable to use this
oil for professional aromatherapy, but it can be used as a mood-enhancing
skin perfume or environmental fragrance. Its properties are more emotional
and spiritual than physical. Can irritate sensitive skin. Blends well
with cedarwood, citrus, pine, florals and vetiver.
