Mastic

Mastic is a natural resin from the mastic tree of the Greek island of Chios. This aromatic gum has a bright, clean, slightly piney and balsamic scent that is lighter and fresher than heavier resins.

Mastic has been treasured since ancient Greek and Roman times for its pleasant aroma and therapeutic properties. In perfumery, mastic adds a sophisticated, Mediterranean freshness to resinous accords.

It has a subtle turpentine-like brightness that settles into a warm, clean balsamic note. Mastic pairs well with citrus, herbs, other resins, and woods.

It works beautifully in Mediterranean-inspired and aromatic compositions where its bright, clean character evokes the Greek islands and the aromatic scrubland of the Mediterranean coast.
