About this product
Picture your favorite conifer, then add a touch of your favorite wood. That is the first impression of this oil, and it is not quite like any cypress you know.
It is distilled from the fruit, the cones, of Cupressus sempervirens, gathered by hand from wild-grown trees in northern Italy and artisan distilled there. Oils from cones are called templin oils. Even in 1960, when Arctander's book was first published, they were rare and made only to order. The distiller produced this one to restart an old French tradition of fruit oils that has all but disappeared. A very old oil, then, that is at the same time very new and little studied.
Compared with oil from the leaves, the scent is deeper and woodier, with less of the fresh edge, and the color is a deeper yellow. The fruits run higher in alpha-pinene, beta-pinene and myrcene, and carry traces of diterpenes, including sclareol, also found in clary sage.
