๐ฟ Introduction Blue Cypress Essential Oil is a rare, rich-blue, and powerfully grounding oil steam-distilled from the wood and bark of the Callitris intratropica tree, native to the Northern Territory of Australia. Its striking natural blue color comes from guaiazulene , the same compound that gives Blue Chamomile its soothing hue. The aroma of Blue Cypress is smooth, smoky-woody, and slightly sweet , with a soft leather-amber undertone. It carries the serenity of ancient forests and the warmth of sun-dried wood. In perfumery, it is valued as a deep base note and fixative , mysterious lending elegance and longevity. In aromatherapy, Blue Cypress is known for its calming, anti-inflammatory, and emotionally centering effects. At Herbsmetics, Blue Cypress Essential Oil is featured in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests experience its rare color, exotic depth, and meditative character โ a uniquely Australian treasure. ๐ธ Aroma Profile
