A bold, exotic scent that opens with a deep, narcotic hit of Nagarmotha Root and dark, aromatic Patchouli Leaf, balanced by the sharp freshness of Makrut Lime Leaf and the earthy elegance of Vetyver Root from Java. A luxurious modern Somali Frankincense Resin and warm Moroccan Atlas Cedarwood provide a rich foundation. Sensual, earthy, with an unexpected freshness.
This is the scent that launched Raer! The bright citrus sparkle comes from a citrus topnote of Makrut Lime Leaf, Tangerine and Red Mandarin. You probably know Makrut Lime Leaf from Tom Yum Gai soup. It brings that fresh, zesty kick to the fragrance.

WHAT IS NAGARMOTHA?
NAGARMOTHA (Cyperus scariosus)
ORIGIN: Madhya Pradesh, India
EXTRACTION: Steam distillation
Nagarmotha – also called Cypriol – is a riverbank grass native to India that offers a rich and earthy scent profile that is both alluring and grounding. In Chinese medicine, Nagarmotha is said to regulate Qi, the life energy. The plant’s roots, once dried, give off an exotic warm wood scent that combines herbal notes with fresh elements. It’s challenging to harvest, so Nagarmotha is rarely used these days; in modern perfuming, it has now mostly been replaced by Vetyver. But its powerful narcotic scent is unparalleled.
Our Nagarmotha Root is grown on a collective farm in Madhya Pradesh, India and is hand-harvested just after the monsoon season subsides, then dried in the sun before being extracted on site.
