A bold, exotic scent that begins with a deep, powerful narcotic hit of herbal nagarmotha and rich patchouli, the freshness of Makrut lime leaf and the earthy elegance of vetiver from Java, all supported by a luxurious modern Somali frankincense and Moroccan Atlas cedar foundation. Sensual and earthy, but with a surprising freshness.
NAGARMOTHA (Cyperus scariosus)
ORIGIN: Madhya Pradesh, India
EXTRACTION: Steam distillation
Nagarmotha – also called Cypriol – is a riverbank grass native to India that offers a rich and earthy scent profile that is both alluring and grounding. In Chinese medicine, Nagarmotha is said to regulate Qi, the life energy. The plant’s roots, once dried, give off an exotic warm wood scent that combines herbal notes with fresh elements. It’s challenging to harvest, so Nagarmotha is rarely used these days; in modern perfuming, it has now mostly been replaced by Vetyver. But its powerful narcotic scent is unparalleled.
The Nagarmotha Root in this perfume is grown on a collective farm in Madhya Pradesh, India and is hand-harvested just after the monsoon season subsides, then dried in the sun before being extracted on site.
