Cypress

Cool, resinous and evergreen — dry needles and Mediterranean air. The scent of a hillside after wind.

Distilled from the twigs and needles of the slender Mediterranean cypress, this oil smells green, woody and faintly smoky-balsamic. It adds a brisk, aromatic freshness to fougères and woody compositions, evoking pine-dark gardens and sea breeze. Crisp and contemplative rather than sweet.
