What does Elemi (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens cool and citrusy with grapefruit leaf, Calabrian bergamot and menthol, while elemi resin and kava kava add a faintly spicy, resinous edge. In the heart, vetiver, cedarwood and sandalwood build a woody, earthy base, and geranium and violet leaf soften the green with a floral touch. White musk and amber carry it to a calm, lightly warm finish. The overall impression is fresh, dry and woody, with sweetness staying in the background. Mark Buxton Perfumes Wood and Absinth and Rhizome Desert Dusk have a close profile.
