In early European times, Oakmoss was mainly utilized for its beautification features but has since been commercialized because of its anti-aging properties. Its elements are also contained in perfume mixtures and was often used as a perfume by Europeans. Oakmoss can also be found in North America.

Oakmoss Absolute Essential Oil Reviews

“I love this product and the quality. I will definitely be ordering more in the near future.” – M. Martin

“This oil makes a great combo with some of the woodsy essential oils. Exactly what I needed. I will be purchasing again.” – L.N.

“Amazing! I love it! I would buy again!” – T. O’Brien 

“Smells leathery, woody, and green. I would almost compare it to a natural smelling “new car scent.” I love this mixed with honeysuckle from the same company. It’s definitely one I will buy again!” – Jay

“This is an OMG so good, so terrific, so earthy, so woody scent. I can’t say enough about this oil, it is the BEST. It comes SUPER thick so I pulled the stopper and added 6 drops of alcohol (denatured) 2 drops at a time to get it to drop out of the bottle and it’s still slow. This very rich scent is THE BEST for any masculine cologne or diffuser use. I have several different cologne blends I use, and I’ve cut my Sandalwood down (very hard to find good Sandalwood) and added this Oakmoss and people ask me what I’m wearing! They freak when I tell them I make it and won’t let them have any…lol. If you mix oils, you MUST get this!” – J.M.

“You must know by now that I am pleased with all of my purchases. Thank You.” – J. Cockrell

“Love the fragrance. I can add this to any blend.” – Annie

“Awesome. The smell is oh-so-very good. It takes some time to warm it up enough to go through the dropper, so I just take it out and wipe a drop on my palm. It lasts long, smells rich, costs less that expensive cologne. I am receiving compliments about the smell I mix and was told that it is very sexy for it’s natural earthy notes. I know where to find this oil when I need to buy it again.” –  S. Simeonov

“Yes, the liquid is thick and viscous. However, it’s fairly easy to extract with a toothpick or by diluting a carrier oil. I’m more impressed with the delicious scent of the oakmoss. I love it, my husband loves it and so far, it’s paired well for the homemade lotion (oakmoss, lavender, clary sage) and room spray (eucalyptus, geranium, oakmoss, lavender) that I’ve made.” –  C. Tseng
