High in the rolling hills and coastal breezes of Spain, the evergreen cypress trees stand like quiet sentinels — slender, strong, and centuries-old. Their roots anchor deep into sun-warmed soil, while their needles whisper with the wind.
Distilled from these aromatic needles, Spanish Cypress essential oil carries the essence of balance, flow, and gentle release. It’s a grounding presence with a fresh, resinous scent — crisp and woodsy, yet soft enough to invite calm into even the busiest of days.
A Legacy of Renewal
For thousands of years, cypress has been woven into the cultural and spiritual traditions of the Mediterranean. Ancient civilizations used it in sacred ceremonies, believing the tree’s steadfast nature could protect and guide the soul. In herbal traditions, cypress was valued for its ability to move energy — both in the body and the mind — helping to release what no longer serves and invite fresh vitality in.

The Role of Cypress in North
Cypress is the breath between the inhale and the exhale — the pause where clarity lives. In North, it works in harmony with grounding vetiver and expansive black spruce to help you find your center. Its scent is like opening a window in your spirit: fresh air rushes in, the fog lifts, and you can see your own path with new eyes.
Ways to Experience Cypress
While you can diffuse Cypress oil on its own for a fresh, meditative atmosphere, North was crafted to bring you its benefits in a balanced, ready-to-use ritual. With each spritz, you’re not just scenting your space — you’re inviting a moment to slow down, breathe, and reconnect.
Breathe deep. Let go. Find your stillness.
That’s the gift of Cypress — and the heartbeat of North.
