Yellow cypress (Taiwanese Chamaecyparis) is Taiwan's most iconic high-mountain forest species. Its slow growth rate results in dense, fine growth rings, yielding an essential oil with a rich, mellow woody scent. Upon first inhale, the aroma is crisp and clear like a waterfall, perhaps even with a hint of coolness, followed by a deep, grounding woody scent that emerges from the earth.

The essential oil extracted from Taiwanese cypress, which grows in rugged mountains, contains precious compounds like hinokitiol, hinokic acid, and phytoncides. Research suggests these components can activate the autonomic nervous system, alleviating anxiety and stress. When inhaled during moments of uncertainty or confusion, its crisp, robust fragrance can offer guidance and inspire the courage to move forward.

**|Q&A|**
**How many types of Taiwanese cypress are there? What is the difference between yellow cypress and red cypress?**
Globally, there are only seven species belonging to the *Chamaecyparis* genus (commonly known as "cypress"). They are distributed in North America, Japan, and Taiwan. During the ice age, cypress native to the north migrated to Taiwan. As temperatures rose, they gradually formed high-mountain settlements and differentiated into Taiwanese yellow cypress (Chamaecyparis formosensis) and Taiwanese red cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa var. formosana), collectively referred to as "Taiwanese cypress." Although they often coexist in primeval forests at altitudes of 1800-2500 meters, genetically, Taiwanese yellow cypress is closer to Japanese cypress (*Chamaecyparis obtusa*), while Taiwanese red cypress is closer to *Chamaecyparis pisifera*. This is why Japanese scholars, upon their first discovery of yellow cypress, considered it a "Taiwanese form" of Japanese cypress (only recognized as a distinct "species" in 1933). During the Japanese colonial era, yellow cypress was called "Taiwan Hinoki," and red cypress was called "Beniki"—names still used in Taiwan's timber industry today. Despite shared kinship and similar aromatic compounds, their scent compositions differ (also influenced by extraction methods and origin). For instance, "hinokitiol," abundant in Taiwanese cypress, is almost non-existent in Japanese cypress. While approximately 70-80% of the aromatic substances in yellow and red cypress essential oils are the same, differences in their proportions and other components create distinct olfactory experiences: the slower-growing yellow cypress has a rich, penetrating woody scent with a slight coolness and spiciness. Red cypress, containing compounds like Myrtenol, offers a gentler, more mellow aroma with a subtle fruity aftertaste.
**With so many cypress essential oils from Huai Mu Ju Fragrance, how should I choose?**
The past "Classic Cypress" was 100% Taiwanese yellow cypress single essential oil (now divided into "Classic Yellow Cypress" and "Classic Red Cypress"). Cypress is the absolute protagonist. In the "DUO Cypress Blended Essential Oil Series" (Cypress Rose, Tea, Ginger Flower, Yuzu), Taiwanese red cypress essential oil accounts for an average of about 60%, still serving as the main note. In the newly launched **"Forest Gradient Blended Series,"** Taiwanese cypress constitutes about 20-30%, no longer the sole focus. Just as trees, shrubs, ferns, mosses, flowers, and fruits coexist in natural environments, forming an interconnected ecosystem, cypress acts as the link connecting all natural fragrances and provides a stable woody foundation. To use a musical analogy, if the "Classic Series" is a cello solo, the "DUO Cypress Blended Essential Oil Series" is like a duet, and the Forest Gradient Series is a harmonious concerto. Whether you are a long-time admirer of cypress scent, a new customer whose impression of cypress is limited to places like Alishan, log cabins, or cypress tea tables, or you wish to gift it to a foreign friend who has never experienced its aroma, you are sure to find a suitable essential oil. If you are concerned about the cypress scent being too strong or too subtle, you can start with the Forest Gradient Series and add Classic Yellow Cypress or Red Cypress essential oils to blend together, adjusting according to your preference and usage scenario.
