So, we have it.
It is the copaiba balsam. It must be the copaiba balsam that makes the Kemis so unmistakable. Yes, it has to be. There’s no other way.

You may have never smelled copaiba balsam before if you’re not from the Caribbean or Brazil. That’s okay, you don’t have to be ashamed; the Copaifera (a tree) simply cannot grow everywhere. And it’s exactly this resin that we’re talking about, the oil is a mixture of terpenes that are used, on one hand, as a raw material for biodiesel, and on the other hand, for this perfume.
Yes, I was surprised too.

There are two types of copaiba balsam: “Para” from Brazil, which is thin and clear, and “Maracaibo” from the Caribbean and adjacent mainland areas, which is thick and golden yellow. Take a closer look at the contents of the bottle; now it should be clear to everyone which copaiba balsam this is all about.

The eagerness to comment on this page shows that Elixir is not easily obtainable for ordinary mortals, and this is despite the fact that copaiba balsam is still used as a remedy and costs about €1.69 per 10 ml,
MR. XERJOFF!!1!

Okay, to his credit, balsam and acid used to be exempt from customs, but they are no longer.
So, FOR diversity, AGAINST TTIP!
What does Elixir smell like? Well, TIPTOP!

At first, it smells of a beautifully blended balsamic oud. Unfortunately, that is too quickly over and gives way to a transparent musk.

The stable is cleaned more often than some other stables. I'm not the target audience.

The whole wildlife park tramples the garden, I'm knee-deep in the leftovers. Animalistic and I just don't match.

"Kemi | Kemi / Al Kimiya" is less sweet, but more animalistic. I like!

First thought: bark mulch.
Oudy bark mulch with a pleasant spice.
A bit bitter, woody ... bark mulch.
I still like the scent.

Noble leather shoes. Cedar juniper, labdanum, and earthy oud dominate. Cypriol with copaiba balsam adds great elegance to the scent.

Very subtle and calm. Low sillage, great longevity. Could be "zippier" - a bit dull. I'm crazy: 19 euros for 1 ml.
