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.
However today, âelemiâ generally relates only to the oleoresin and its extracted essential oil originating from the Philippines, which is known and traded internationally as Manila elemi. The elemi tree is related to frankincense, myrrh and opoponax, which all belong to the Burseraceae family.
