Maison Orris

Moss / Lichen

Moroccan Cedar Moss Absolute MKS.DPG

Original designation: Mousse cèdre Maroc ABS MKS.DPG

Cedar-moss wording suggests a drier, more timbered moss impression, where bark and pencil-wood facets stand forward from the forest floor. Because the catalogue does not establish a species, the name is treated as an olfactive direction rather than a botanical conclusion.

Extraction & expression

Absolute extraction preserves a broad, saturated portrait of the source. Traditionally, fragrant biomass is first solvent-extracted and the resulting concrete or resinoid is purified with alcohol, giving perfumers a dense material rich in less-volatile facets. The recorded DPG carrier makes the material easier to dose and handle as a prepared strength.
