cypriol oil

Cypriol oil, also known as nagarmotha, is a smoky, earthy essential oil from the roots of the cyperus scariosus plant native to India. This ancient ingredient has been used in traditional Indian perfumery for centuries.

The scent is woody, smoky, and slightly leathery with a warm, mysterious depth that some people compare to a lighter, more accessible version of oud. In perfumery, cypriol oil provides a beautiful dark, earthy base note that adds depth and exoticism to compositions.

It is less intense than oud but shares some of its complex, smoky-woody character. Cypriol pairs well with oud, sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, and spices.

It has become a valued ingredient in niche perfumery where its unique character and cultural heritage add authenticity to oriental and woody compositions.
