Mastic (Lentisk)

2 perfumes

Mastic, or Lentisk, offers a distinctive resinous profile that balances sharp, pine-like greenness with a subtle, balsamic sweetness. Classified within the woody family, its aroma is crisp and medicinal, reminiscent of crushed needles and sun-warmed sap. In high-end perfumery, it pairs naturally with citrus notes like bergamot to add a sophisticated, dry edge to fresh accords, or with frankincense to ground deep, resinous compositions. Given its ability to remain clean and resilient even in high temperatures, Mastic is a favored choice for Gulf-region fragrances designed for the sweltering summer months. It provides a cooling, aromatic lift that cuts through the humidity, making it an essential component for those seeking a refined, airy sillage that feels both traditional and contemporary.
