Where it comes from
Methyl atrarate, a synthetic material.
How perfumers use it
The main substitute for natural oakmoss, which is restricted by IFRA. Essential for modern chypres and fougères.
Did you know? Without substitutes like this, the chypre family would barely exist today.
For education only. Raw materials should be diluted for smelling and never applied neat to skin. Always follow the supplier’s safety data sheet and the current IFRA Standards.
