What does Treemoss Firbest 50 TEC smell like?
dsm-firmenich places this under EARTHY - MOSSY in the naturals section of its perfumery ingredients catalogue, alongside the oakmoss Firbest grades, so the house's own placement is an earthy, mossy note. What matters more than the heading is what a FIRBEST actually is: the catalogue's own glossary defines the FIRABS/FIRBEST range as co-extractions of natural and synthetic ingredients, some of them captives, and then says of the FIRBEST grades specifically that they are developed the same way BUT they do not contain the mentioned ingredient, calling them reconstitution-like ingredients, a technical response to an artistic demand. So this smells of treemoss while containing no treemoss. In a formula it does the job treemoss absolute would do, the earthy mossy floor under a chypre or a fougere, and it arrives ready-diluted at 50% in triethyl citrate so it can be dosed straight from the bottle. Note the catalogue is a code-and-name leaflet: the family heading and the glossary are the whole of the published olfactive text, and no longer description exists in the source.
