Latin Name: Litsea Cubeba | Plant Part: Fruit | Origin: China | Extraction: Steam Distillation
Bright, sparkling, and irresistibly fresh — May Chang is one of aromatherapy's most uplifting and cheerful oils. Steam distilled from the small pepper-like fruits of Litsea Cubeba grown in China, this 100% pure essential oil delivers a clean, intensely lemony aroma with a fresh green, slightly floral quality that instantly lifts the mood and sharpens the senses.
Often described as lemon with a twist — May Chang shares lemon's bright citrus character but with a cleaner, greener, more complex edge that makes it a favourite in natural perfumery, mood-lifting diffuser blends, and uplifting personal care formulations.
- Bright, clean, intensely lemony aroma with fresh green and slightly floral notes — uplifting and energising

- Popular in natural perfumery as a fresh, clean citrus top note with excellent tenacity
