Cypress essential oil is extracted by steam distillation from the scale-like leafy shoots of the cypress tree, widespread around the Mediterranean region, with a yield of approximately 1–1.2%. Cypress oil is pale yellow or slightly greenish, with a sweet, balsamic scent reminiscent of pine, yet slightly smoky. Lemon-like or amber-like undertones can also be detected in its fragrance.
Recommended for vaporization and air freshening for aromatherapy purposes!
