Cypress Essential Oil

Our organically crafted Cypress Essential Oil is steam distilled from the brightly aromatic cones, leaves, and twigs of the Cupressus sempervirens trees growing wild in the hills and mountains of Spain. Cypress Essential Oil has a fresh, clean, deep green balsamic aroma with that is herbaceous, spicy, with slightly woody evergreen undertones in the tenacious drydown. Within fragrancing applications and blending work, Cypress Essential Oil is considered a middle note.

Native to Southern Europe, Italian Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) has spread to North Africa and North America and is cultivated in France, Spain, and Morocco. Cypress trees are long-lived and do not easily decay (thus the Latin name sempervirens - lives forever); this is perhaps the primary reason why the Greeks chose Cypress wood to sculpt statues of their immortal gods. Its natural chemical composition makes Cypress Essential Oil widely used within skin and hair care, holistic wellbeing, massage, soap making, fragrancing and cleaning applications intended to support wellness and a healthy environment.
