Cypress Root, derived from the roots of the cypress tree, offers a deep, earthy, and woody aroma. Historically associated with mourning and longevity, it adds a rich depth to fragrances, grounding lighter notes with its robust character. Its distinctive, slightly spicy and smoky profile enriches woody and forest-like perfume compositions. The oil is typically extracted through steam distillation, capturing the essence of the roots while preserving its natural woody notes.
Natural or Synthetic?
Cypress oil is extracted from the roots through steam distillation, a method that is feasible but costly due to the labor-intensive process required to harvest and prepare the roots. Synthetic alternatives are sometimes used to mimic its complex profile in a more cost-effective manner.
