The verdict
Caution — only the purified version is legal
What it is
The classic mossy-chypre base note from a lichen.
That deep mossy 'chypre' note. It's still allowed, but only after its two banned allergens (atranol/chloroatranol) are stripped out — so compliant oakmoss is far gentler than the vintage material.
