Discover the crisp, woody serenity of pure Organic Cypress Essential Oil, steam distilled from the needles and twigs of young branches of Cupressus Sempervirens sourced from Spain. 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.

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. Native to the eastern Mediterranean, Cupressus Sempervirens has been cultivated and revered across the ancient world for thousands of years — its timber prized by the Phoenicians and Cretans for shipbuilding, by the Egyptians for sarcophagi, and by the Greeks for carving statues of their gods.

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. 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. 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.

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. This 50ml size is ideal for professional formulators, therapists and those who incorporate Cypress regularly into their practice or product making.
