Green, rootlike, damp-earthy. The smell of pulling a grass-like plant from wet marshland — muddy roots, crushed stems, and still water.

Steam distillation of the dried rhizomes (roots) of Cyperus scariosus produces cypriol oil, a dark amber liquid. The roots are harvested, dried, and distilled, yielding approximately 0.5-1% oil. The oil is produced primarily in India, where Cyperus scariosus grows wild in marshy areas.

У парфумерії
Sedge is a heart-to-base note that provides green, earthy, wetland character. Cyperus scariosus (nagarmotha/cypriol) oil is the primary material used. It bridges green-aquatic top notes and earthy-woody bases, functioning similarly to vetiver but with a wetter, more marshland quality. Used in green, earthy, and aquatic compositions where a sense of organic wetland atmosphere is desired. Pairs with vetiver, patchouli, and aquatic notes.
