More information

Nagarmotha or Cyperus scariosus is a perennial plant native to northern Australia and New Guinea.

As is the case with many plants, it has several names in Latin: Cyperus perdnuis, C. corymbosus, C. articulatus.

 

It has been introduced for cultivation in India, Java, Myanmar, Bangladesh and Sri-Lanka.

 

It is also known by several common names: Mustak, Nagarmotha, Motha, Hima, Varida, castanuela, cebolleta, xiang fu zi, kupere, topalak, cypriol,

 

The essential oil is obtained by distillation of the tubers (rhizomes) of the plant which resembles a papyrus (it is a plant of the same family as the Egyptian papyrus), it measures up to 5 m high and grows close to some water.

The root network of the plant is very dense, its cultivation is similar to that of vetiver.

 

Nagarmotha has been used for hundreds, if not thousands, of years in Ayurvedic medicine for its medicinal properties.

Traces of Nagarmotha have been found in ornate Indian gold pots dating back to 500 BC. AD

Ancient Hindu texts connect Nagarmotha with Parvati – a divine cosmic link.

According to Ayurvedic medicine, Nagarmotha has the possibility of treating abdominal problems, fevers, infections, painful periods, reducing pain; relax muscles and more.

 

We of course advise you to consult a health professional familiar with aromatherapy before using it.

 

Nagarmotha is considered to have analgesic, anti-arthritic, anti-bacterial, anti-candida, anti-convulsive, anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory properties.

It has great importance in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industry.

 

Nagarmotha is also used in perfumery where its woody and earthy smell is very appreciated.

In perfumery, cypriol is often used as a base note in many olfactory compositions to add depth and warmth to perfumes.

Cypriol is often described as having a rich, warm character, with some complexity.

Its fragrance evokes sensations that are both earthy and mysterious, making it a popular olfactory note in perfumery to create sophisticated compositions.

In terms of scent accords, cypriol pairs well with other woody notes such as cedar, vetiver and patchouli, which enhance its earthy, woodsy aspect.

It can also be combined with spicy notes, such as black pepper or cinnamon, to add a warm, spicy touch to a composition.

Additionally, cypriol blends harmoniously with floral notes, such as rose or jasmine, creating complex and seductive scents.

Nagarmotha is found in various great perfumes:

• Tom Ford for Men Eau de Toilette by Tom Ford
• Cherry Smoke Eau de Parfum by Tom Ford
• Lacoste L’Homme Intense Eau de Toilette
• DZONGKHA by L’artisan Parfumeur
• Papyrus Eau de Parfum by Chloé
