10 ml May Chang Essential Oil

May Chang Essential Oil — 10ml

May chang — also known as litsea cubeba or mountain pepper — is a small tree native to China and Southeast Asia whose tiny, pepper-like fruits yield an essential oil of extraordinary brightness and freshness. Steam-distilled from the fruit of Litsea cubeba, it delivers an intensely lemony, clean, slightly floral citrus aroma that is more vibrant and persistent than lemon essential oil itself, thanks to its high citral content. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries and is increasingly valued in natural perfumery and aromatherapy for its uplifting, mood-enhancing properties.
