Star Child May Chang Organic Essential Oil 10ml • Bright, Uplifting & Refreshing
May Chang Organic Essential Oil is a bright, sweet and distinctly lemony aromatic oil distilled from the fruits of Litsea cubeba.
This 10ml Star Child essential oil has a fresh citrus character with fruity sweetness and a softer edge than many sharper lemon oils. Its lively aroma makes it especially well suited to diffuser blends, spring and renewal rituals, botanical perfumery and appropriately diluted body preparations.
Also known as Litsea or Mountain Pepper, May Chang belongs to the Laurel family and is botanically unrelated to Lemon Verbena despite their similar citrus-like fragrance.

Aroma & Blending Character
May Chang has an unmistakably cheerful citrus profile.
Its opening is bright and lemony, followed by a sweeter, fruitier softness that makes it less sharp than some traditional citrus oils.
Orange strengthens its fruity character, while Neroli introduces a softer floral-citrus note. Palmarosa adds floral freshness, Vetiver gives the blend more earthy depth and Frankincense adds a resinous base.
This balance makes May Chang particularly useful when a blend needs brightness without becoming overly acidic or piercing.
May Chang vs Lemon Verbena
May Chang is sometimes compared with Lemon Verbena because both have a bright lemon-like aroma.
They are not the same plant.
May Chang is Litsea cubeba, a member of the Laurel family, while Lemon Verbena belongs to a completely different botanical family.
May Chang is therefore best treated as its own aromatic material rather than marketed as a form of Verbena.
