Extractions & Uses

Extraction process :

Cypriol is a plant of very variable height, ranging from 5 cm to 5 metres high. It is cultivated in India between April and June. The plant is cultivated in its wild state, controlling its growth (as for Mimosa Absolute), by the tribes living near the riverbeds of the region.
Although Cypriol is a leafy plant (thin, long leaves), it is its rhizome that is extracted by steam distillation. The plant's root system is very dense, making it interesting for extraction. Cypriol cultivation is then comparable to that of vetiver (Vetiver Java EO, Vetiver Haiti EO). The leaves are grouped together before uprooting the plant. The roots are shaken by hand to remove some of the soil, then transported to the essential oil production plant. There they are washed and dried in the sun, removing all the remaining soil and developing the aromatic potential of the root.
Extraction is done using pressurized steam, taking the aromatic molecules from the plant to the top of the distillation column. Refrigeration of the vapours liquefies them and allows the essential oil to be recovered in a Florentine flask, by settling over the water used for distillation.
As the essential oil is orange to brown, it can be rectified to remove the colour. It can also be used to remove natural Cyperene, Rotundone or Rotundene.

Uses in perfumery :

Cypriol is used to bring a spicy effect to woody notes as vetiver. It also can suggest an earthy note of vetiver, in association with other woods.

Stability :

The terpenes identified in this raw material can polymerize when they are oxidized
