May Chang Essential Oil, also known as Litsea, is a bright, lemony, and uplifting oil steam distilled from the small fruits of Litsea cubeba. Its aroma is crisp and vibrant, with a sweet lemon character that is sharper than Lemon but softer than Lemongrass.
Fresh and cheerful, May Chang brings clarity, lightness, and energy to blends. It is especially valued for its ability to lift heavy or dull compositions and works beautifully in clean, citrus-forward blends where a sparkling top note is desired.
Blends well with:
Lavender, Geranium, Bergamot, Sweet Orange, Frankincense, Ylang Ylang, and Cedarwood.
