Couldn't load pickup availability
Elemi is a perfumer's secret weapon, possessing a dynamic dual character. It provides an initial peppery-citrus lift while anchoring compositions with resinous depth. This versatility makes it an unparalleled bridge ingredient, connecting disparate olfactory families.
Pair Elemi Extra strategically with bergamot and pink pepper for contemporary masculine openings, or blend with frankincense and cedarwood for sophisticated woody accords. The elemol content provides exceptional tenacity—lasting over 400 hours on blotters—making this material invaluable for anchoring volatile compositions. Deploy lower concentrations as a radiance enhancer, higher percentages to feature its unique lemony-peppery signature.
Elemi Oil shows balanced behaviour with moderate strength (5/10) and proportional impact in blends (4/10). Versatile and predictable to work with.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
