Cypress essential oil is steam distilled from the leaf of the Cypress tree. Aromatically, Cypress has a clean, fresh, woody, herbaceous scent.
"Derived from the branches of the tall evergreen tree, Cypress essential oil has a fresh, clean aroma that’s energizing and refreshing. Cypress is frequently used in spas and by massage therapists.
