Litsea cubeba-- Steam distilled from the fruits. Widely used in the perfume and soap
industries, providing a lemon-scented base note, often used to
"anchor" the scents of the true citrus top notes that are far too
fleeting. Has floral as well as citrus notes. Lemongrass occasionally has an
unfavorable methyl heptenone note not present in Litsea. However, the sweet
lemony high notes are virtually the same. For this reason it may be that Litsea
is preferable to Lemongrass. The price difference is negligible and the citral
content is virtually the same.
