The cypress tree's long and lean silhouette calls for cold Winter days. An evergreen tree from the Cupressaceae family, the Cypress tree stands out: a slender conifer, it can reach 40 meters in height. Its name is also a legend on its own: it is derived from the Greek mythology in which Cyparisse, Telephus' son, was turned into a cypress by Apollo. Recognisable to its small triangular scale-like leaves and its round-shaped wooden fruits, the cypress grows in warm Northern temperate regions and defines the Tuscan landscape. Praised by experts, cypress wood was also historically used to manufacture Italian harpsichords. Woody, fresh and aromatic, the cypress scent evokes the strength and nobility of its silhouette. Known for its antibacterial activity and its tonifying properties, its fragrance is perfect for a bedroom or a bathroom.
