## About
In folk tradition the cypress is a tree of mourning, planted where people say goodbye. Its oil keeps something of that evergreen steadiness. Young green tips are pruned and carefully distilled to yield a truly unusual oil.In aromatherapy, cypress is comforting in times of loss and grief. The traditional oils for grief are rose and jasmine; a touch of cypress cuts their sweetness and, to many noses, adds a freeing note. It is also kept for the overwhelming transitions of a long life: a move, a change of work, the end or start of a relationship. Cypress has a place in skin care blends for oily skin, and some add a drop to a blend for the study desk.DetailsBotanical name: Cupressus sempervirensOrigin: France, organically producedMethod: steam-distilled from young tipsBlends well with: bergamot, clary sage, fennel, pink grapefruit, juniper, lavender, lemon, lime, orange, pine, rosemary and sandalwood; rose and cypress together are lovelyShelf life: about 2 to 3 years after opening; store in the dark, refrigerated, and decant half-full bottles into smaller, full onesFor the doorways of a life, a quiet evergreen companion.
