Mastic Oil (Morocco)
CAS: 68991-39-9
TopMastic essential oil (from Pistacia lentiscus), derived from the shrub's resin,
is a unique raw material with a fresh, resinous character accented by herbal and
woody undertones. A pleasant coolness—reminiscent of juniper—is intertwined with
a distinct, slightly astringent note, creating a refined, Mediterranean
atmosphere.
Compared to the absolute, the oil has a much brighter, cooler, and more volatile
scent profile.
The mastic used by Biolandes is harvested in the forests of the Rif region in
northern Morocco. Biolandes employs sustainable harvesting methods to protect
this natural resource—only a few branches are collected from each plant to
produce the essential oil.
