History: Tom
Ford for Men was
claimed to be the first to use cypriol: "that slightly dirty, sensual,
sexy smell...It's not the same as natural musk used to be, but it has a bit of
something that some people would think slightly dirty...I think it's warm and
sensual." And yet Xeryus, a floral woody semi-oriental masculine
by Givenchy, developed by Firmenich, launched in 1986!
The
Egyptians used Cyperus papyrus, a close relative of Cypriol, to make papyrus,
Egyptian paper. They also used cypriol to make cloth and fragrances.
