MASTIC
Mastic has a unique, fresh, and slightly green resinous scent with crisp, woody, and slightly piney nuances. It offers a clean, bright, and slightly medicinal aromatic profile that is both sharp and transparent, reminiscent of fresh tree bark and Mediterranean herbs.
Origin & Extraction
Mastic is a natural resin extracted from the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus), which is native to the Mediterranean region, particularly the Greek island of Chios. The resin is obtained through careful incisions in the tree's bark, allowing the sap to slowly crystallize and be collected, a traditional process known as 'teardrops' harvesting.
