Cypress Essential Oil Organic 10ml

• 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.

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 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.

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.
