Litsea Cubeba essential oil, also known as May Chang oil, is celebrated for its bright, citrusy fragrance. The initial top notes resemble freshly squeezed lemon and lime, offering a crisp, zesty aroma that awakens the senses. As the scent evolves, subtle sweetness emerges, reminiscent of mandarin oranges or tangerines, adding balance and complexity. A lingering verdant freshness grounds the fragrance, evoking lush citrus groves in bloom.

This essential oil is extracted through steam distillation from the small, pepper-like fruits of Litsea Cubeba trees, cultivated in China, Indonesia, and Taiwan. Known for its versatility, the oil is popular in aromatherapy and perfumery due to its uplifting and energizing qualities. It is widely diffused in homes, offices, and spa environments to create an atmosphere of freshness and vitality.

With its clean, juicy, and sweet citrus profile, Litsea Cubeba oil is a favored choice for promoting a revitalizing ambiance.
