Oakmoss Perfumes & Colognes: 2,423 Fragrances With Oakmoss

Oakmoss perfumes make up 2,423 fragrances in our catalog, with oakmoss used as a base note 95% of the time. Oakmoss is a lichen that grows on oak trees and smells damp, earthy, inky and slightly salty. It is a long-lasting base note at the core of chypre and fougère fragrances, now restricted and often replaced by low-allergen extracts or synthetics. It is most often paired with carnation, civet and orris root, and these perfumes tend to be spicy and floral. Well-known examples include Acqua di Giò pour Homme by Giorgio Armani, Supremacy Not Only Intense by Afnan Perfumes and Grey Vetiver by Tom Ford.
