Buyer FAQ
Primarily perfumery — the dried lichen is extracted into oak moss absolute, the base note behind chypre, fougère and woody-forest accords. It also moves into natural colourants, incense and traditional botanical preparations.
The High Atlas is one of the world's principal origins of commercial Evernia prunastri, where the lichen is gathered from fallen oak and fir branches and sun-dried into the pale, aromatic raw material the extract trade buys.
Lots are judged on colour, aroma strength, moisture and foreign matter. We dry to stable moisture and bale for the voyage; atranol / IFRA compliance documentation is available for extraction buyers on request.
