The Story
Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha in perfumery.
Derived from the roots of Cyperus rotundus, cypriol oil carries an aroma reminiscent of patchouli, but with a more refined, almost smoky character. Its scent is richly earthy, with undertones of hay and wood, making it a versatile ingredient in perfumery.
In compositions, cypriol oil often serves as a base note, providing depth and warmth that complements woody accords like patchouli, sandalwood, and agarwood (oud). It's frequently paired with musk for added sensuality and amber to enhance its warm, spicy qualities, creating complex layers of earthy richness.
Today, cypriol oil can be found in a variety of notable fragrances, such as Herod by Parfums de Marly, which marries it with saffron for an oriental flair; Elysium Pour Homme Parfum Cologne by Roja Dove, where it adds depth to the woody heart; and God of Fire by Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777, blending it with aromatic and spicy notes for a modern twist.
