Why Cyprus

Cyprus has always been more than just an island—it’s a living crossroads of
nature, culture, and tradition.

Endemic Treasures: Thanks to its unique climate and geographic isolation,
Cyprus is home to over 140 endemic plant species found nowhere else on earth.
These rare plants have adapted to the Mediterranean sun and the island’s varied
soils, giving them exceptional resilience and potency.

Island of Isolation: As a Mediterranean island, Cyprus has preserved ancient
ecosystems and plant varieties that disappeared elsewhere long ago. This natural
isolation makes it a botanical time capsule, rich with ingredients that have been
valued for millennia.

Famous Since Antiquity: From the time of Aphrodite, Cyprus was renowned
for its herbs, oils, and perfumes. Archaeological finds in Pyrgos even uncovered
one of the world’s oldest perfume workshops—over 4,000 years old. Cypriot oils
and aromatic plants were once traded across the ancient world, cherished for their
purity and fragrance.

At LIVEN Cyprus, we carry this heritage forward—working with the same land
and plants that made the island legendary in antiquity, now crafted into oils that celebrate bothtradition and modern innovation.
