Essential Element — an oriental story by Tree of Life
Essential Element is an eau de parfum by Tree of Life, released in 2024.
This unisex fragrance is created for those who love expressive compositions with woody depth, spicy nuances and a soft floral character.
Tree of Life is a young Russian perfume house, founded in 2023 and immediately making its mark as an ambitious player in niche perfumery.
Essential Element continues this concept: the fragrance is perceived not as a simple perfume accessory, but as an independent image with a symbolic name and a multilayered character.
Character and olfactory direction
The composition belongs to the oriental and floral families, combining balsamic, woody, spicy, green, fruity and musky facets.
It features cardamom, cedar, davana, incense, oud, pink pepper, raspberry, rose, sandalwood, violet and musk.
The spicy accent of cardamom adds vitality and a light, dry freshness to the composition, while cedar emphasizes its composed woody silhouette.
The fruity-floral facet of raspberry, rose and violet softens the richness of oud, incense and sandalwood, while musk makes the final impression rounder and more comfortable.
Development and sillage
Essential Element reveals itself distinctly and confidently, gradually moving from a spicy-green impression to a warm woody-balsamic accord.
Incense and oud give the fragrance an oriental expressiveness, while the floral and fruity notes keep it from becoming overly austere or heavy.
The eau de parfum has noticeable sillage, making it a good choice for those who want to leave a recognizable yet deliberate impression.
It is especially fitting for cool weather, evenings, meetings, cultural events and situations where you want to highlight your individuality.
Who is this fragrance for?
Essential Element is positioned as a unisex fragrance and smells equally intriguing on women’s and men’s skin.
It is chosen not according to a formal gender code, but out of a love for spicy spices, dry woods, resinous accords and floral softness.
Just 1–2 sprays on the skin are enough for the composition to unfold and create a noticeable aura.
1–2 sprays are also recommended on clothing, after first checking how the fabric reacts to the perfume liquid.
The perfumer and the fragrance’s place in the brand’s collection
Essential Element was created by Isabel Gil Trujilo.
Her work is built on contrast: spiciness and smokiness meet berry-like floral softness, while the rich woody base maintains harmony and elegance.
The fragrance may appeal to fans of the oriental-woody direction who are looking for a livelier and more multifaceted scent.
As a starting point for further exploration, consider Oriflame Loved Up, as well as Revlon Charlie Gold and Ajmal Ajmal II.
At the same time, Essential Element retains its own signature through the combination of oud, incense, spices, fruits and musk.
