Organic Green Cypress Essential Oil

A bit of culture:

Also called Provence Cypress or Evergreen Cypress, this tree is native to Asia Minor. Its very dense wood is appreciated by cabinetmakers and landscapers. It can measure up to 40 meters in height and live for more than 100 years.

It is a symbol of immortality with its rot-proof and resistant wood and its evergreen foliage all year round. Moreover, the Egyptians, Romans and Greeks used this wood to make their sarcophagi and coffins.

Essential oil (EO) of green cypress is obtained by distillation of the leaves. It takes about 1kg of twigs to obtain 10ml of this essential oil.

It is widely used in perfumery and soap making.
