Tree moss absolute 15% in IPM is a fragrance extract solution for use in, for example, perfume and air fresheners.

Use

Tree moss absolute 15% in IPM has a spicy moss scent reminiscent of oak moss, but also of the forest and old leather. The smell is not very strong, but can quickly dominate because of the special smell. It is already diluted to 15%, further dilution is possible, so use isopropyl myristate (IPM) for that. Typical use is primarily in moss accords. You usually use less than 0,5% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It combines well with leather and citrus scents and can also be used well in fougères and chypres. It is primarily a base note in perfumes and is fairly stable in most products, including soap. Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.
