Which element are you? Find out now!


elemense fragrances are comprised of the Five Element Theory (Wu Xing). Each one feeds into another and works harmoniously together. You can even tell which element you are by your birth year. 


Five Element Theory (Wu Xing)

Wu Xing, usually translated as Five Phases or Five Agents, is a fivefold conceptual scheme that many traditional Chinese fields use to explain a wide array of phenomena, from cosmic cycles to the interaction between internal organs, medicines, etc.

The "Five Phases" are Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, and Earth or Soil.

In the creation cycle, Wood feeds Fire; Fire creates Earth (ash); Earth bears Metal; Metal collects Water; and Water nourishes Wood.

In the destruction cycle, Wood parts Earth; Earth absorbs Water; Water quenches Fire; Fire melts Metal; and Metal chops Wood.




Which Element Are You?

To find out which element you are, take a look at the last digit of your birth year. For example, if you were born in 1984, the last digit is "4", which would make you the WOOD element. Swipe down to find yours!
