Priprioca

About

Priprioca (the aromatic rhizome of Cyperus articulatus from the Amazon) smells warm, sweet and balsamic with a distinctive powdery‑creamy facet reminiscent of toasted rice or coconut, layered with earthy, woody and slightly smoky‑spicy undertones and a faint vetiver‑like greenness. In perfumery it is used mainly as a base/fixative to lend exotic, amber‑gourmand and powdery‑woody depth, pairing well with vanilla, tonka, woods, spices and citrus to add warmth, texture and an unusual tropical‑earthy signature to oriental, woody or gourmand compositions.
