38 perfumes

Elemi is a resinous gum harvested from the Canarium luzonicum tree. Its olfactive profile is complex, bridging the gap between bright citrus zest and warm, peppery incense. Typically positioned as a sophisticated top or heart note, it provides a luminous, balsamic lift to heavy compositions. In the Gulf, elemi is increasingly prized for its ability to bridge the gap between traditional, heavy ouds and modern, airy fragrances, adding a crisp, resinous depth that complements the region's love for complex, layered scents.
