Umuthi May Chang Litsea Cubeba Pure Essential Oil - 10ML

Umuthi May Chang Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the fruits of Litsea cubeba . It has a fresh, lemony, herbaceous aroma that feels bright and uplifting, with a character sometimes compared to citronella. May Chang is popular in diffuser blends, home care products, outdoor-style formulations, soaps, and natural perfumery where a clean citrus-like top note is wanted.

Its lively scent makes it a useful alternative when you want lemony freshness with more botanical complexity than a simple citrus oil. Why we love it: May Chang is bright, cheerful, and wonderfully versatile in practical formulations. It brings a fresh lemony lift to room blends, cleansers, soaps, and outdoor-style products without feeling flat or overly sweet.
