History: The Phoenicians and Cretans used Cypress wood for building ships and homes.

The tree gave its name to the island of Cypress where it used to be worshiped. The legend says the cross of Jesus had been made of cypress wood and it generally seems to be connected with death.

Bright, fresh scent, not as harsh as pine. I use it in deodorant blends and my kitchen soap blend.
