Cypress Essential Oil Steam Distilled 50ml

Green, resinous and quietly woody, this cypress essential oil brings the feeling of a shaded Mediterranean path into a room. Steam distilled from the needles and twigs of Cupressus sempervirens, it suits slow scent rituals, diffuser blends and moments when you want a clean, forested atmosphere.

The scent of Mediterranean cypress

• A fresh green opening, with the dry, woody character of cypress branches warmed by sun.
• Resinous rather than sweet, so it feels clear, composed and uncluttered in a room.
• Well suited to evening rituals, quiet workspaces and simple diffuser blends where you want a grounded scent.
• Its woody profile sits naturally with other forest, resin and herbaceous scent families.
• A thoughtful choice for anyone who prefers aromatic oils that feel clean, grown-up and not floral.

Needles, twigs and steam distillation

This oil comes from the needles and twigs of young cypress branches, using steam distillation to draw out the plant’s aromatic compounds. The botanical name is Cupressus sempervirens, often associated with the Italian or Mediterranean cypress, and this oil is sourced from Spain.

Using it in your space

Add a small amount to a suitable diffuser or vaporiser, following the instructions for your device. For body use, essential oils should always be diluted in a carrier oil first, then patch tested before wider use.

Keep the bottle tightly closed, away from heat and direct light. Avoid use during pregnancy, with young children, or around pets unless you have guidance from a qualified professional.

The cypress in art and tradition

Cypress has a long cultural life around the Mediterranean. In Greek mythology it is linked with mourning and with Hades, and it is often planted in cemeteries for that reason. The tree also appears in the work of Van Gogh, where its dark, upright forms give the landscape a solemn stillness. Historically, cypress wood was valued by Phoenicians and Cretans for ships and houses, by Egyptians for sarcophagi, and by Greeks for carved figures. That sense of endurance gives the oil a quiet, reflective character.
