Cypriol Essence

1 perfumes

Cypriol, also known as Nagarmotha, is a complex, earthy root oil that anchors a fragrance with its distinct profile of damp soil, smoky leather, and a sharp, peppery green edge. Belonging to the woody-earthy family, it provides a sophisticated depth that is often used as a modern, more accessible alternative to oud. It pairs exceptionally well with spicy notes like saffron or cardamom, creating a dry, resinous backbone that cuts through the sweetness of amber. In the Gulf, Cypriol is highly valued for its remarkable tenacity in high heat, making it a staple in long-lasting evening compositions. It thrives during the cooler desert nights, where its smoky, balsamic character unfolds slowly against the skin, providing a grounding, masculine elegance that resonates with the traditional preference for bold, lingering scents.
