Cabin Retreat

Oakmoss is all about deep, musty, green, earth tones. It’s aroma is already in the name; you can picture dark green mosses climbing up the base of an old oak tree, with a spongy, rich, vital green scent wafting up from the forest floor. Oakmoss in perfume is a mainstay of men’s colognes, and its rich, moist, green fern-like scent pairs marvelously with other earthy notes like vetiver, leather, tobacco, and aromatic spice. Oakmoss is definitely more for the fall/winter seasons rather than spring or summer - it’s heavier texture isn’t suited for hot weather wear.
