Cypress Essential Oil is derived from the Cupressus sempervirens tree, known for its tall, evergreen stature. With a fresh, woody aroma, this oil has historical significance, often used in traditional practices for its grounding and calming properties. Cypress is a tall evergreen tree with slender branches, small flowers, and round brownish-grey cones or nuts. Native to the eastern Mediterranean, it now grows wild in France, Italy, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Spain, Portugal, North Africa, and England. While there are many species of Cypress, the Cupressus sempervirens species is considered superior in oil quality.
