Étude No. 05: Elemi

Elemi refuses to pick a single register — bright and citrus-sharp on first contact, then settling into something closer to incense as it warms. This Étude uses Robertet's Elemi Heart, a refined cut of elemi resin with a sparkling, peppery top and a clean, incense-adjacent base — not an isolated molecule either, because it's carried the whole way through la Un.e, the constant eau de parfum every Étude is written against. What you're wearing is always a finished perfume, never a fragment. Reads as: citrus, peppery, incense. 7.5ml, Eau de Parfum. Wear one. Or write a second voice.
