PRODUCT FEATURES

Latin (Botanical) Name:  Cypressus sempervirens

Plant Family:  Cupressaceae

Extraction Method:  Steam Distillation

Plant Part Used:  Cone

Color:  Pale yellow

Aromatic Description:  Fresh, herbaceous, woody and slightly coniferous aroma

Cypress oil is derived from coniferous, evergreen trees in the botanical family Cupressaceae, which are naturally distributed in the warmer temperate and subtropical regions of Asia, Europe, and North America. Known for their dark green leaves, rounded cones and small yellow flowers, cypress trees typically reach 25-30 meters tall.

It is estimated that cypress trees originated in ancient Persia, Syria or Cyprus and were brought to the Mediterranean region by Etruscan tribes. Among the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean, the cypress has become a symbol of death and mourning. Because with their characteristic shapes, they symbolized immortality and hope while standing upright and rising towards the sky. “Sempervirens” in the botanical name of cypress means “live forever”. The Etruscans often planted the tree in their burial sites because they believed that the cypress could drive away demons. The ancient Egyptians used cypress wood to carve coffins and decorate sarcophagi, while the ancient Greeks used it to carve statues of gods. Carrying a cypress branch throughout the ancient world was a common sign of veneration for the dead.

Representing both death and the immortal soul during the Middle Ages, cypress trees continued to be associated with death in the Victorian era and continued to be planted around cemeteries in both Europe and the Middle East.

Cypress trees are popular ornamental plants today. Cypress oil is also used as a popular ingredient in alternative medicine, natural perfumery, and cosmetics.

It offers many benefits thanks to the active ingredients it contains.
