Cedarmoss Absolute
Previously at Hermitage Oils we offered Cedarmoss absolute neat. However due to significant changes detected in the materials appearance and behaviour each time we applied gentle warmth – which we understand is due to the lichen acids – we now offer the absolute in 10ml retail volumes at 20% diluted in 80% ethanol (wholesale options are for pure material). This results in the absolute being of a pourable viscosity, autumn brown in colour and of excellent tenacity.
Adam Michael has this to say “Cedarmoss to my nose is the embodiment of walking in my local park on a cold October afternoon. Cold air, bare trees, leaves clumped together on the floor emitting an earthy, seaweed, and distinct vegetative dampness. The aftermath of the bonfire from the night before, charred wood, ashes, leather, moss, hay and tobacco nuances all flooding the crisp, cold, autumn air. Useful for chypre, leather, woody orientated compositions and imparts great diffusion within masculine colognes.”
Botanical Name: Evernia furfuracea
Origin: Morocco
We also offer this material neat at wholesale rates in both 100G and 250G weights, in this instance the material is completely solid and will require bain-marie prior to use.
Wholesale weights (all prices excluding vat): 100G (SOLID) = 90 Euros. 250G (SOLID) = 200 Euros.

Smooth, sweet, luxurious cedarwood, mineral breeze through powdered mosses and lichens. Top notes a little bracing, never sharp. If there is leather it’s naturally tanned and well used outdoors, in people’s hsnds.
Coumarin is quite clear drying down. And a slight cinnamon note.
This lacks the phenolic wildness of oskmoss as well as the darker leathery, swampy, mushroomy notes. A woodier affair minus any pencil shavings. Conjures the crumbly wood of a large fallen tree, perhaps disturbed on an autumn walk.
An absolute love for me. Wearable as is.
Pairs with atlas cedar, patchouli heart and labdanum abs beautifully.
Does indeed project and last well also!

This is the smell that you could only get if you were deep inside the forest, where it’s slightly dark and chilly. It rained a few days ago and because it’s dark and there’s such a thick canopy around, the ground is still slightly damp. There’s a patch of wild mushrooms growing nearby. This is exactly what comes to mind when I open this bottle. Also getting sweet aged balsamic notes. It’s pure, rich earthly goodness!

I read somewhere that one of my favorite perfumers blended Cedarmoss, Treemoss & Oakmoss together to create, what he calls, “The Holy Trinity”, The result is a kaleidoscope of green earthy mossy goodness.

Very beautiful, so green, bright but still very deep and a little wet.

Unbelievable material… amazing diffusion, and conjures images of a reading nook beside a big window and a fireplace, with cool misty conifer forest outside and big grey clouds. It is sharply masculine and a bit mysterious, with a sweetness that makes it more approachable or even alluring than oakmoss. I could wrap myself in this.

Absolutely adore this cedarmoss! I love oak moss, but this cedarmoss may be my new favorite of the two. Less of a “mulch” note than oak moss, if that makes sense. A bit brighter, but still deliciously deep.

This cedarmoss is gorgeous. As an oakmoss lover, I wanted to try a few similar materials and this may be my new favorite moss. It’s slightly lighter, brighter, and greener than oakmoss or treemoss (though still lends a deep, dank note).

I am in total love with Cedarmoss. It has allowed me to create such special fragrances with an edge and dimension that I never thought was possible in natural perfumery. The wet, deep damp immersion is so striking. It’s like capturing a secret aroma that you never thought was possible to acquire.
