Nut Grass

About

Nut grass (nagarmotha/cypriol) is a dry, earthy root note with smoky, woody and leathery facets, threaded with sweet-resinous and slightly camphorous, medicinal accents; it evokes sun-baked roots, damp soil and the warm, timeworn smell of antique leather. Used as a long-lasting base and fixative, it lends dusty, smoky depth to chypres, orientals, leathers and incense compositions, and blends seamlessly with patchouli, vetiver, oud, spices and resins to anchor and deepen accords.
