Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
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.
