Oakmoss close up Oakmoss Absolute
Diluted to 10% in Organic Fractionated Coconut Oil

Oakmoss smells like damp bark with a bit of seashore thrown in - comforting and steadying on a deep level. Many consider it effective in money spells, and it definitely works well as an Elemental Earth scent. Try in combination with other Earth scents for a grounding oil or as an ingredient in Druidic or Celtic oils. Because it grows on oak trees, you might also consider this herb for scenting natural perfumes dealing with dependency (or the fear of it). Oakmoss evaporates slowly and so will stay in a combination for a long time. Its character as a scent, then, is a lot like its character as a plant - slow and foresty - and like the nature (pun intended) of Earth magick: moving to a geological clock. It's wonderful in forest-type potpourri blends. Wylundt considers this a Moon scent, and perhaps that fits with the touch of seashore in its fragrance. To us, though, it is all Earth - deep, dark, moist. It is very difficult to work with oakmoss absolute in its undiluted form--it's very thick and sticky stuff. We offer oakmoss absolute diluted to 10% (typical dilution for an absolute) in organic fractionated coconut oil. This means you can use it like any other essential oil. True oakmoss is very expensive, so offering it in this form is much more affordable and allows you to try it in your own blends without breaking the bank. Extracted from Evernia prunastii and diluted to 10% in organic fractionated coconut oil. Top
