Cypress Organic Essential Oil 10ml – Cupressus Sempervirens | Steam Distilled Austria

Discover the crisp, woody serenity of pure Organic Cypress Essential Oil, steam distilled from the needles and twigs of Cupressus Sempervirens sourced from Austria. Clean, green and quietly powerful — with a fresh, resinous woodiness, a cool herbal sharpness and a subtle, balsamic warmth — Cypress is one of the most grounding, clarifying and atmospherically distinctive essential oils in aromatherapy and natural home fragrance.

This is the oil of the Italian or Mediterranean Cypress — the tall, slender, flame-shaped tree made famous by the paintings of Van Gogh, whose dark, swirling silhouettes have become one of the most iconic images in Western art. Cultivated across the Mediterranean and into Central Europe, Cupressus Sempervirens thrives in the cool alpine foothills of Austria, where the clean mountain air and temperate climate produce a Cypress oil of exceptional freshness, clarity and aromatic purity — crisp, green and beautifully resinous.

In Greek mythology, the Cypress is considered a tree of mourning and is traditionally planted in cemeteries — associated with Hades, god of the underworld, and with themes of eternity and remembrance. Its timber has been prized since antiquity — used by the Phoenicians and Cretans for shipbuilding, by the Egyptians for sarcophagi, and by the Greeks for carving statues of their gods. Legend also holds that the cross of Jesus Christ was fashioned from Cypress wood, deepening its connection to themes of death, transcendence and the eternal. Fittingly, its botanical name derives from the Greek Sempervirens, meaning 'live forever' — a quietly poetic contradiction that speaks to the enduring power of this ancient botanical.

With its grounding, clarifying and emotionally steadying character, Cypress Essential Oil is a valued choice in aromatherapy — particularly during times of change, transition or emotional intensity.
