Update 12th May at 9.55pm: First, our order book. The majority of orders placed between the 5th to 7th May have been collected by the couriers, more will be collected tomorrow, and the rest will be collected by the couriers on May 16th. Many easy/quick to assemble orders placed after the 7th have also been collected by the couriers. We are working through the weekend, and I will update again here on Monday concerning lead-times. I am very sorry about the delays and also for the time it is taking me to reply to emails at the moment. Next, good news on the horizon. By mid-late June I will release a 30 year aged labdanum, Persian cypress e.o, Persian neroli e.o, two Nagaland ouds, one jungle- plantation, the other wild, plus cedarmoss absolute, oakmoss absolute – one of my original sources, melonal n.i, guaiacol n.i, my own commissioned saffron oleo resin red gold, olive absolute (possibly two offerings), another flawless Persian rose otto, sandalwood India Royal - a 1930’s vintage Mysore, plus another intro-level oud from Thailand, a two year aged green sacra tincture, a flawless Indonesian sandalwood CO2 that I have been wearing on my forearms every day this week (heavenly and affordable), plus protium copal resin, elemi resin, a full spectrum green coloured royal hojari resin and I am musing on releasing a trial experiment of stock flower extrait by enfleurage – musing because it’s so fleeting. And finally, for the month of May I have released oud wild Assam e.o, oud Thai fruity-spice e.o (intro level oud), Italian 4-fold lemon super concentrate e.o, oud Chanthaburi honey e.o, orris Tuscan absolute 50% (8% Irones) , oud wild tabak e.o (our first quarter of a million euros per kilo aromatic) plus our 20-month aged grey ambergris 3% tincture and our stunning Indian sandalwood sweetie CO2. Thank you to everyone for the support of our business and as always, if its possible, please do leave product reviews on the website. Thanks, Adam : ) Close

Litsea Cubeba Essential Oil, aka May Chang is known as “Oil of Tranquility”, recognised for its powerful effect of promoting physical relaxation and mental calm. It is recommended for those suffering from work related stress and the “can’t switch off” phenomenon. Historically the oil from this exotic plant has been blended with almond oil and used to perfume the body prior to meditation or prayer in order to impart a sense of strength, calm and mental clarity.
This essential oil is chemically somewhat similar to melissa true as it is high in citral which is responsible for the delightful sweet smelling aroma. A small tropical tree with fragrant lemongrass-scented leaves and flowers, related to laurel and rosewood and produces small white flowers and fruits which resemble a peppercorn. The small fruits that it produces are similar to peppers, from which the name ‘cubeba’ is derived.
Litsea Cubeba Essential Oil complements most of the middle notes (herbs and flowers) and has a gentle pungency which can be helpful when you wish to cover the scent of an oil which is helpful to the patient but not always appreciated in terms of scent. Tea tree and clary sage are two contenders. Complemented well by lavender, orange, neroli and petitgrain. With the same uplifting, revitalising properties as bergamot, this oil can also be used on greasy skin and hair.

Kristina M (verified owner) –
This Litsea Cubeba essential oil is a pure music of joy – truly so refreshening and bright – melissa is very well detectable in it as well as lemongrass.
It’s really incredible how nature can give us so many wonderful gifts – it is one of them – with it’s clear and bright aroma. I tired it with Siberian Fir E.O. – and my nostrils were just “dancing” a very happy happy dance.
How such an amazing material can be so cheap – unbelievable !
