Maychang

Maychang (Litsea cubeba) delivers a fresh, lemony, fruity aroma with uplifting citrus notes - a cheerful, sherbet-bright scent distilled from the small litsea fruit. Steam-distilled from litsea fruit, this pure essential oil is a lively top note prized for bright diffusion, fresh-scent blending, and DIY room and skin-care projects. Fruitier than Lemongrass, sweeter than Lemon - the sunny citrus that brightens any blend.
