Mastic Besin
Mastic Resin, also known as Chios Mastic or Pistacia lentiscus, is a unique and ancient ingredient in perfumery, prized for its fresh, balsamic scent and natural elegance. Harvested from the mastic tree native to the Greek island of Chios, it exudes a crystalline resin that embodies the spirit of the Mediterranean — green, pure, and deeply aromatic.
Its scent profile is complex yet balanced: crisp and pine-like at first, then softly earthy with hints of herbs, citrus, and amber. Used as a heart or base note, Mastic Resin adds freshness and structure, blending seamlessly into woody, aromatic, and resinous compositions. It bridges the gap between green brightness and warm depth, giving a fragrance clarity and cohesion.
Perfumers use Mastic Resin to bring refinement and grounding energy. It pairs beautifully with frankincense, cypress, and myrrh for spiritual depth, or with citrus and herbs for an airy, sunlit freshness. Its subtle warmth and resinous smoothness make it an ideal choice for natural, elegant, and meditative fragrances.
Emotionally, Mastic Resin evokes calm, purity, and balance. Its scent feels restorative and timeless — like a sea breeze moving through sunlit pine forests.
In modern perfumery, Mastic Resin stands as a note of quiet sophistication. Its green, balsamic depth adds clarity and dimension, connecting fragrances to the natural world with effortless grace and enduring freshness.
