Nagarmotha (Cypriol) Essential Oil

Botanical Name: Cyperus scariosus | Origin: India (Madhya Pradesh)

Our organically crafted Nagarmotha Essential Oil, also known as Cypriol Oil, is steam distilled from the wild-harvested roots of the Cyperus scariosus plant—an aromatic sedge native to the lush wetlands of Madhya Pradesh, India. Revered in traditional Indian medicine and beloved by French perfumers under the name souchet, this oil carries an earthy, woody, smoky aroma that adds depth and complexity to natural fragrances—often used as a sophisticated alternative to Patchouli in perfumery.

The Essence of Ancient Earth

Found along riversides, marshes, and rain-soaked meadows, Cyperus scariosus is a resilient perennial grass with fragrant, tuberous roots that yield a deeply grounding and restorative essential oil. Known for its balancing properties, Nagarmotha has a long-standing history in Ayurvedic and Unani traditions as a remedy for both physical and emotional ailments.

Its complex, masculine scent profile makes it a prized ingredient in natural colognes, incense, and aromatherapy blends designed for grounding, focus, and introspection.
