## About
Evening, a single lamp, and a scent that settles low to the ground like smoke in still air. Cypriol, known in India as nagarmotha, is a traditional Indian aromatic with exactly that kind of weight.It is steam-distilled in India from the dried rhizomes of Cyperus scariosus, a perennial sedge, ethically wildcrafted. Tony Burfield describes it as woody-earthy and diffusive, with a slight vetiver character and an animalic note reminiscent of agarwood. The dry-down, he writes, is tenacious and more animalic still, with a distinct agarwood and vetiver character.Like vetiver, cypriol is calming and grounding: an oil for slowing down at the end of the day and coming back to earth.DetailsBotanical name: Cyperus scariosusOrigin: India, ethically wildcraftedMethod: steam-distilled from dried rhizomesCharacter: woody, earthy and diffusive, with a tenacious, animalic dry-downHow to useBreathe it in slowly and let the dry-down unfold over the evening.For the long, unhurried hours, an old Indian aromatic to keep on your shelf.
