Did you know? Litsea Cubeba is one of those fascinating botanical oddities. Despite smelling like bright lemon peel, it is not a citrus fruit at all. The oil is distilled from the small pepper-like berries of an Asian tree in the laurel family. Perfumers like it because it give a vivid citric lift that last longer than many lemon oils. Litsea Cubeba contains a high amount of citral, the same aromatic molecule responsible for the scent of lemon peel.
