The Sentinel of Flow: Cypress Essential Oil

Cypress essential oil, steam-distilled from the needles and young twigs of the Cupressus sempervirens tree, offers a clean, crisp, resinous-woody scent with subtle balsamic undertones. It is the essence of quiet strength and movement—known as the Oil of Flow and Transition.

Origin: Under the Mediterranean Sky

Sourced from the rocky, sun-drenched hillsides of the Mediterranean, the slender Italian Cypress stands like a silent guardian of the land. Rooted deeply into stone and thriving in dry winds and relentless sunlight, this evergreen tree symbolizes endurance and eternal presence.

Its high content of pinene and carene gives this oil its clearing, invigorating, and harmonizing qualities—an aromatic reminder that nothing stays stagnant; everything continues forward.

A Tree of Passage & Protection

In ancient Greece and Rome, Cypress marked sacred spaces and temples, symbolizing eternal life and the passage between worlds. Its wood, famed for its durability, was used to craft ships and vessels intended to last for generations. Burned in ceremonies for purification and transition, Cypress has long been a sacred companion in times of change.
