Cypress oil has a distinctly clean, fresh, woody aroma. Its distinctive scent is light and clear with a hint of spice. It is slightly reminiscent of pine and juniper berry. The oil is distilled from the leaves (needles) and twigs of the column shaped, evergreen Cypress tree that grows in the Mediterranean region of Europe.

Considered a symbol for life after death, Cypress is frequently burnt alongside Pine and Juniper to cleanse the atmosphere. 

One of the most powerful astringent oils in aromatherapy, Cypress oil has a reputation for strengthening the heart's energies. It has been used since ancient times for ritual cleansing and to promote wellness. 

The medicinal uses of Cypress were inscribed on Egyptian papyri. Its wood was often used to fashion the sarcophagi of the Egyptian aristocracy.

The ancient Greeks dedicated the Cypress tree to the god Pluto, Lord of the Underworld. Cypress trees are often planted close together to act as a screen from the elements.

The Cypress tree is commonly seen in many gardens of southern Europe and frequently found in cemeteries there. 

Cypress essential oil’s effect upon our human energy system is decidedly Yang (masculine). Psycho-emotionally, it has the ability to stabilize and give direction and purpose during times of transition and confusion, i.e. puberty, marriage, change of home, menopause, loss of loved.

In perfumery Cypress oil is often used in colognes and men’s aftershave lotions.
