Question 1

Which aromatic compounds give Cupressus sempervirens its character?

Accepted Answer

The main aromatic compounds of Mediterranean cypress oil are alpha-pinene, carene and cedrol. Together they deliver the fresh, woody-coniferous and slightly balsamic character, which combines well with pine notes, citruses and spice notes.

Question 2

How should the 10 ml cypress essential oil be stored and how long does it keep?

Accepted Answer

Store in a cool, dark place below 25 °C, in a tightly closed bottle. Unopened, Cupressus sempervirens oil typically keeps for 2-3 years. Once opened, it is advisable to use the content within 12 months, as oxygen gradually alters the aromatic profile and the terpene composition of coniferous oils.

Question 3

Can cypress essential oil be applied directly to the skin, or does it need to be diluted?

Accepted Answer

In skin preparations, cypress essential oil is diluted in a carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba), typically at 1-3% concentration. For sensitive skin, a patch test on the inner elbow is recommended. For use on children or during pregnancy, please consult a qualified professional.
