Cypress trees are evergreens that grow in Libya, Greece, Turkey, Iran, India, Lebanon, Australia, and Cypress. Found most commonly in valleys, woodlands, and coastal mountains, this powerful tree grows up to 98 feet tall.
The ancient Egyptians and Greeks once burned Cypress essential oil in their incense. It’s easy to imagine a Greek temple filling with the woody smell of cypress mingled with the aromas of other essential oils.
