Elemi: a gum resin which introduces a light, fresh, balsamic-spicy, citrus-like scent. Enfleurage: a process whereby fragrant materials are infused into solid, odorless fats. Traditional cold enfleurage used refined lard or tallow spread on a frame; the petals were placed on top of the fat.
Elemi oil is extracted from the resin of the elemi tree, scientifically called Canarium luzonicum, and also known as Manila elemi. A tropical tree from the Phillippines, the elemi can grow up to 115 feet tall, and exudes the pale yellow resin when it sprouts leavesâwhich can grow to nearly a foot long.
