Greek Mastic (Pistacia lentiscus), also known as the "Tears of Chios," is one of the oldest and most revered resins in human history. This translucent, lemon-white resin originates from the Greek island of Chios, where it has been harvested from mastic shrubs for over 2500 years. As the "fragrance of the Greek gods," mastic brings light into a space, raises vibrations, and creates an exceptionally pleasant, clear atmosphere that encourages alertness and mental focus.

What is Mastic?
Mastic is a natural resin excreted in the form of small tears from the bark of a tree in the pistachio family. Ancient Egyptians imported it as a key ingredient for their sacred "Kyphi" incense, and today its use spans from high-end perfumery to culinary arts. In the world of incense, it remains an essential element of church blends and rituals for spiritual purification.
