Litsea Cubeba has a bit of a bad reputation owing to the fact that it has a fairly high amount of citronellal — a chemical people often attribute to pest repellant. But the complexity of this very lemony oil makes it a wonderful nuancer and it most definitely deserves a come back.
In 1946, Jean Carles created Ma Griffe (1946) for Carven using 1% Citronella oil and 2% Styrallyl Acetate. Replacing the Citronella with Litsea Cubeba makes for a more subtle effect.
With around 70% citral, this blends with all members of the citrus family and is a great booster for lemon especially. As it lasts around ten times longer than that oil, it is a perfect solution when you need to prolong lemon into the heart of your fragrance.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
