Cypriol / Nagarmota perfume ingredient

Production

Similarly to the highly versatile papyrus plant of Egypt, Cyperus scariosus belongs to the cyperacae family. The delicate flowering herb largely grows wild in India, as well as some other regions of Asia. To produce the lavishly fragrant oil, the plant’s roots (rhizomes) undergo a progress of steam distillation.

History

In ancient Egypt, the papyrus was a highly versatile material, and thus held a coveted position in the minds of those who relied on it. Ancient Egyptians believed papyrus to be the symbol of joy and magic; a Scepter of the goddesses. Meanwhile, Cyperus papyrus became the emblem of lower-Egypt, while the lotus represented a unified Egypt. In India, the Cypriol, in association with milkweed, Indian nard, jatamansi and fekhand, appears in one of the recipes from the charm of Vashikarana mantra. It is said that a man who applies the mystical essence to his forehead is assured romantic success.
