Common Name: Cypress
Latin Name: Cupressus sempervirens
Aroma: It's slightly masculine with soft woody notes. Working with it on the dry down initially, I found it to have soothing green needle notes topped with hints of fresh citrus ones. I find myself coming back to this one more and more to find more subtle nuances that make this such a fantastic oil to work with. It is definitely more of a middle note which is perfect for when one is making blends to diffuse during colds.
Blends with: Bergamot, Virginia Cedarwood, Clary Sage, Eucalyptus Blue Gum, Eucalyptus Ironbark, Geranium, Alligator Juniper, Lavender, Lemon, Red Mandarin, Sweet Marjoram, Blood Orange, Sweet Orange, Patchouli, Scotch Pine, Rosemary ct cineole, and Sandalwood.
Energetic Qualities: Offers energetic protection, brings clarity to the mind, and can be emotionally uplifting.
Recommended applications: Diffuse, topical application using safe dilution ratios, steam inhalation.
Aromatherapist notes: Many know how particular I am about my essential oils produced from trees. Although I was hoping for a French Cypress this year, this one from Spain surprised me! It's soft, pleasant and makes for a wonderful addition to any wellness blend. It also blends well with Eucalyptus Ironbark which is another wonderful oil to diffuse during colds!
