May Chang - Ethically Harvested, 100% Natural Pure Essential Oil - Massage Oil for Aromatherapy, Bath, Skin, and Diffuser - Aromatherapy Essentials - 9ml

I studied aromatherapy using essential oils about 20 years ago. I make my own deodorant, perfumes, body oils and face creams using only pure essential oils. Essential oils are derived from plants. Their fragrance, “essence of the oil”, is extracted usually distilled by using steam, but there are other methods including cold pressing. As you can imagine over the 20 years I have tried various essential oils and I have found that Tisserand oils are of compromising quality. The fragrance from their oils is natural and fresh. There have been some I have tried from other companies where the scent has smelt inferior or artificial, not pleasing at all. I am very careful when purchasing products, I always Investigate a company and research their ethos before I can feel comfortable buying from them. I could never be happy using a product if it has been tested on animals, including its ingredients. I couldn’t enjoy the benefits of my aromatherapy skills knowing that the oils I am using have been cruelly tested on a defenceless animal. Not only does this cause unnecessary suffering to a living creature, but it is also bad karma. YLANG-YLANG - this scent, to me, is like opening a bottle which contains various sweet-smelling flowers with a hint of sweet bubble-gum. I am probably not giving this sent much justice. It is a lovely, very floral scent, but not a sickly sweet one. Apparently, ylang-ylang is an ingredient in the perfume Chanel No.5. Ylang-ylang works well for de-stressing, anxiety or depression. Add a few drops into an aromatherapy oil burner to help calm moods or to feel relaxed. Or, mix with a carrier oil, such as jojoba, apricot, coconut, Olive oil, or sweet almond oil. There are many to choose from, whichever one most suits your skin. To stay on the safe side create a mixture that is 1% essential oil and 99% carrier oil when using on the skin. if using Ylang-ylang for calmness, also add lavender oil = 1% + 1% + 98% MAY CHANG - has a fresh sweet lemon scent which reminds me of lemon sherbet sweets due to its fizzy note. There are a few essential oils, such as lemongrass but this has a harsh tone, which is why I prefer May Chang this is the number one floral lemon scent for me. It isn’t sharp, it is floral, light and uplifting like a fresh summer's day in a Lemon orchard. May Chang works well for relieving fatigue as it is energising. This is not suitable for sensitive skins especially if suffering from eczema. Add a few drops to an aromatherapy oil burner to lift a headache or to boost one’s energy. Pregnant/breastfeeding women, children, or people with a medical/skin condition should always use essential oils with caution. Check first with a qualified practitioner before using any essential oil. Although these are plant-based, they could potentially be hazardous to one’s health or to an unborn child.

Great quality oil, I love May Change because while it smells uplifting it knocks me right out to sleep when applied to my skin at bedtime

As described and has lovely smell

Lovely smell took a star off as expensive for such small bottle .

Exactly as described. Have purchased many oils from Tisserand and they never disappoint. Buy different scents so l can mix. Super fast delivery. Would buy again. 5 stars.

Great product and great price

After initially giving this 1 star and writing a bad review about how awful I thought this essential oil smelled it’s only fair that I retract that review. The problem isn’t with the product, the problem was with my total lack of knowledge. From the bottle, Rosemary doesn’t smell anything like you expect it to. In fact it smells pretty damn awful, like rotten meat! I couldn’t believe this was an essential oil that people actually use?!?! Certainly not on its own like you could with Cinnamon or Lemon or Sandalwood BUT having mixed up a Thieves Oil blend tonight... OMG WOW what a difference mixing rosemary with right combination of other oils makes. Now I can smell the rosemary for it’s worth and it’s WONDERFUL. Now it is pleasant and herbal and medicinal and just wonderful. Please don’t make the mistake that I did of thinking Rosemary on it’s own is how Rosemary oil works. It doesn’t. It is an amazing addition to the right oils... you just have to find out what those combinations are. Little pieces of the puzzle!! Wonderful. I have around 30 oils from Gya Labs, Naissance, Natural by Nature and AromatherapyShop and the Tisserand quality is top drawer. The packaging and labelling is certainly super high quality. Buy with confidence!!

Always use tisserand, good stuff
