Pro-Knowledge: The Scent Note
Litsea Cubeba is a Top Note. It evaporates faster than woods but lasts significantly longer than Lemon or Orange. It is the perfect "opening" to a scent blend and ensures a positive first impression in the room.
🌱 About the Plant
Litsea Cubeba is an evergreen tree or shrub native to Asia. This wonderful oil is obtained from its small, pepper-like fruits.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the plant has been valued for centuries. Its scent is considered an "opener" for the mind and is traditionally used to dispel gloomy thoughts and bring fresh energy ("Qi") into living spaces.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference to Lemon Oil?
Litsea smells "more lemony than lemon," but sweeter and softer, less acidic-sharp. A big advantage is the better longevity of the scent in the room.
Can I apply the oil to the skin?
Yes, but never undiluted! Litsea is very intense. For a body oil, 1-2 drops per 50ml almond oil are sufficient. Please note photosensitivity after application.
Is the oil suitable for children?
Due to the very intense scent and high Citral content, we recommend use primarily for adults or in very high dilution in large rooms.
