An Ode to Cypress

The cypress tree originates in Eastern Mediterranean countries. A common ingredient in scented products, its essential oil is a thin, pale yellow liquid with a spicy forestry aroma. This evergreen scent blends well with a variety of oils and is an Abbott favorite--a fresh reminder of the Great Outdoors.

Symbolism
