Cypress essential oil

INCI name:
Cupressus Sempervirens

Cypress, scientifically known as Cupressus sempervirens, is steam distilled from the aromatic cones, leaves, and twigs of the trees growing wild in the hills and mountains of Spain. Cypress essential oil has a fresh, clean, and deep green balsamic aroma with herbaceous, spicy, and slightly woody evergreen undertones in the tenacious drydown.

Cypress trees are long-lived and resistant to decay, which is reflected in their Latin name sempervirens, meaning “lives forever.” This durability is likely why the ancient Greeks used Cypress wood to sculpt statues of their immortal gods.
