Elves have a proper body hygiene! Thus they cannot stink. No, really, there is no problem with my reasoning. Pointy ears are nice; you are just being jealous of Elves, that's all.
And the Ilythiiri (Dark Elves, Drows, as you will) ... Don't even speak of them. You will have a tough time explaining their complexion though (why would a people never seeing daylight have an ebony complexion? And going the way of a divine punition isn't likely to help the matter either, but I digress).
