Elemi Essential Oil

Elemi is a light, luminous resin with a distinctive lemony top note, soft peppery spice, and a gentle incense-like drydown. Airier and more transparent than frankincense or myrrh, it carries a refined freshness that feels both sacred and contemporary. The overall effect is clean, calming, and quietly sophisticated.

Elemi functions as a top-to-heart note, adding sparkle and structure while smoothing transitions between bright and resinous materials.

Recommended concentration:
Fine fragrance: 0.5–5%

Blends beautifully with:
Citrus notes (bergamot, lemon, petitgrain)
Resins (frankincense, benzoin, myrrh)
Woods (sandalwood, cedarwood)
Florals (rose, jasmine, neroli)

Suitable for non-perfumery applications including skincare, balms, massage oils, soaps, candles, and contemplative home fragrance

It is especially effective in fresh incenses, modern ambers, colognes, and spiritual or meditative blends.
