Cypress Essential Oil Organic 10ml

Fresh, green and quietly woody, this organic cypress essential oil brings the clean scent of needles, twigs and shaded evergreen paths into a room. Steam distilled from Cupressus sempervirens, it suits diffusers, oil burners and carefully diluted aromatherapy blends when you want a scent that feels composed rather than sweet.

Scent and character

• A crisp conifer aroma, with a dry green edge and a gently resinous finish.
• Less floral than lavender and less sharp than citrus, it sits in a steadier, woodland register.
• Use it when a space wants freshness without brightness, especially in a study, bathroom or quiet evening corner.
• Its clean, evergreen character blends naturally with other woody, resinous or herbaceous oils.

Needles, twigs and steam

This essential oil comes from the needles and twigs of Cupressus sempervirens, the Mediterranean cypress. The oil is extracted by steam distillation, a traditional method that uses heat and vapour to carry the aromatic compounds from the plant material into the finished oil.

Cypress in context

Cypress has a long cultural life around the Mediterranean. In Greek mythology it is associated with mourning and with Hades, which is one reason cypress trees are often seen in cemeteries and places of remembrance. Its tall, dark form also appears in European landscape painting, including the work of Vincent van Gogh, where the tree becomes a striking vertical presence against sky and field. In scent, that same character comes through as still, green and architectural.

Using it in your space

Add a small amount to a diffuser or oil burner according to the instructions for your device. For massage or bath blends, dilute properly in a suitable carrier oil before skin use.

Patch test before use on skin. Avoid use during pregnancy, with young children, or around pets unless guided by a qualified professional. Keep the bottle closed, upright and away from heat and direct light.

Common questions

Can I apply cypress essential oil directly to the skin?

What does cypress essential oil blend well with?
Its green, woody character pairs well with other forest-like, resinous, citrus or herbaceous essential oils.

Is this the same as a fragrance oil?
No. This is an essential oil obtained from plant material by steam distillation, not a synthetic fragrance oil.
