About this product


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.
