Priprioca (Cyperus articulatus) essential oil is derived from the root of a reed found in Brazil and the Amazon; it possesses woody, leathery, and spicy undertones. At first, Priprioca evokes the exotic quality of mango and the resinous facets of myrrh, before transitioning toward earthier notes, reminiscent of vetiver.
In South America, it is used to prepare aromatic baths that are both relaxing and energizing. In Peru, it is known as “Piri-Piri”—a name linked to the legend of an Amazonian warrior who bore the same name.
OLFACTORY DESCRIPTION
Priprioca offers a unique fragrance, rich in fruity, resinous and woody notes. Its opening is powerful, weaving between the exoticism of mango and the warmth of myrrh, whilst evoking the candied quality of ginger. Becoming increasingly earthy, it undeniably resembles vetiver and provides a solid woody base for the hours that follow.
