Essential Oil – Oakmoss Resinoid

• A dark, dry, and leathery-woody aroma.
• Compared to true Oakmoss, it is less "inky" and more "resinous."
• It opens with a sharp, bitter-green note, followed by a heart of smoky wood and dry hay.
• Its dry-down is remarkably persistent, smelling of old leather, tobacco, and coniferous bark.
• It smells "colder" and "crisper" than Oakmoss—reminiscent of a winter forest rather than a damp spring grove

• Deep Stabilizer: It is used to anchor the nervous system of individuals who feel emotionally volatile or "flighty."
• Stress Shield: Provides a sense of psychological protection, helping to "insulate" the user from the overwhelming noise of modern life.
• Encouraging Resilience: Spiritually, it is used to help one endure long, difficult periods (like a long winter or a tough project) by connecting the spirit to the "patience of the earth."
• Stillness in Meditation: Helps quiet the "monkey mind," allowing for a more profound, rooted meditative experience.

Artisanal Perfumery & Fixative Qualities

• Natural Fixative: Like its cousin, it is an incredible fixative. When added to a blend from clubarome.com, it "holds" lighter scents like Lemon or Grapefruit, preventing them from evaporating too quickly.
• Masculine Base: It provides a rugged, woody, and leathery "bottom" to natural colognes and beard oils.
• Atmospheric "Forest" Scent: Diffusing it (blended with thinner oils) transforms a room into a grounding, woodland sanctuary.

Physical & Skin Applications (Low Dilution)

• Astringent Action: Helps "tighten" tissues and can be used in very low concentrations to manage overactive oily skin and scalp conditions.
• Soothing Inflammation: Its cooling, damp nature helps soothe the "heat" of minor skin irritations when used under professional guidance.
• Antiseptic Support: Historically utilized to protect minor skin abrasions from environmental bacteria.

Respiratory Grounding

• Expectorant Properties: Helps calm the breath and assists in loosening stagnant mucus, though its primary use remains emotional and fixative.

• Himalayan Myrrh is a grounding base note.
• It acts as a fixative, helping lighter top notes last longer while adding a deep, resinous "soul" to your blends

• High Sensitization Risk.
• Like all mosses, Treemoss is a known allergen. It must be used in extreme dilution (typically 0.1% in topical formulations).
• Many modern versions are "IFRA-compliant," meaning the most sensitizing molecules have been removed or reduced.
