Solubility & Blending Suggestions
  • Dilute before use and add drop by drop to your blends until the desired effect is achieved.
  • Soluble in both fixed (carrier) oils and 190 proof alcohol; not soluble in water.
  • Mastic essential oil “is occasionally used in citrus colognes, lavender-fougères, etc. as a topnote ingredient, lending a certain naturalness and a bitter-balsamic tonality to these perfume types.”*

    Mastic Leaf / Branch - Organic EO

    Pistacia lentiscus L.

    (1)

    Our organic Mastic essential oil (also known as Lentisque, Lentisk) has an earthy, radiant, herbaceous, balsamic, sweet coniferous-turpentine-like aroma with highly aromatic, warm, woody tonalities. The distinct green note can be especially strong when first distilled, but softens with time.

    Product Overview

    Our organic Mastic essential oil (also known as Lentisque, Lentisk) has an earthy, radiant, herbaceous, balsamic, sweet coniferous-turpentine-like aroma with highly aromatic, warm, woody tonalities. The distinct green note can be especially strong when first distilled, but softens with time.

    Mastic oil is sourced from the aromatic leaves and branches of Pistacia lentiscus, a graceful and resilient evergreen tree that has populated picturesque and legendary groves on the Greek island of Chios since medieval times. This hardy tree is a member of the Sumac family and is adaptable to some of the most inhospitable environments, including arid, rocky, saline, limestone and generally poor soils.

    Many of our respected Greek scholars and philosophers as early as the 5th century BCE – including Hippocrates, Herodotus, Dioscorides and Galen – described the benefits of Mastic. The oleoresin (gum) was a central ingredient in the Egyptian Kyphi incense and was burned ceremonially and as an accompaniment to meditation. Chemically, the essential oil sourced from Mastic leaves and branches varies significantly from that of the traditional oleoresin. Generous in monoterpenes, particularly α- and β-pinenes, it currently has a wide range of applications in cosmetics, skin care and perfumery.

    Like fresh soil

    Rating

    Wonderful, dry, mild and pleasant but not faint. Reminds me of dry soil or dirt. I might try mixing it with spikenard and maybe roselina for something really earthy and floral.
