What Is Mastic?

Mastic is the resin of the mastic tree, grown mainly on the Greek island of Chios. Its scent is fresh and balsamic at once: piney and slightly lemony, with a clear, glowing resinous warmth underneath. In perfume it adds a bright, almost luminous resin note that feels lighter than frankincense or myrrh.
