ABOUT

Elemi is a resinous note derived from the Canarium luzonicum tree, native to the Philippines. It exudes a fresh, lemony, and peppery aroma with a hint of balsamic sweetness, reminiscent of frankincense and pine, creating a bright and uplifting scent profile. In perfumery, elemi is often used in both men's and women's fragrances to add a vibrant, spicy freshness and enhance woody or oriental compositions. Its ability to blend well with citrus, spice, and woody notes makes it a versatile ingredient, often employed to impart a sense of clarity and energy.
