LICHEN

Lichen is a cool earthy-green note inspired by the complex organisms formed through the symbiosis of fungi and algae growing on rocks and tree bark. Its scent is mineralic, mossy, and subtly woody, blending nuances of damp stone, forest bark, soft moss, cool earth, and delicate herbal undertones. Unlike Oakmoss, Lichen is lighter, drier, and more mineral-driven, creating an aroma that feels quietly natural and contemplative. Used primarily as a heart note, it adds forest freshness, mineral depth, and woodland realism to woody, green, and chypre fragrances.

History & Production: Lichen is typically an olfactory accord composed of mossy materials, mineral notes, woody molecules, earthy accords, and subtle green facets. It blends beautifully with oakmoss, cedarwood, vetiver, stone accords, pine, patchouli, and musks, creating a cool woodland signature—the scent of lichen-covered rocks beneath ancient trees, earthy, mineral, and softly green.
