Mastic Chios Essential Oil

The high price of authentic Mastic Chios Essential Oil is due to the very small amount of essential oil available from the resin  However, the rush one gets from every little sniff of this amazing fragrance will, I believe, make this a prized treasure in every aromatic collection and make the cost seem inconsequential.

The aroma of this Essential Oil really is something!! It has the sweet-spicy herbaceous scent of fresh-cut honey-rich wildflowers, with a deep amber note. It is uplifting and stimulating without being harsh or hard-edged. Dry Black pepper notes weave through it, balancing the candylike-sweetness and adding dimension. It is vibrant, potent, heady and unique.

Mastic Chios Essential Oil is the pure essential oil distilled only from the very dear Chios mastic grown on the island of Chios Greece.
Most Mastic essential oil on the market is blended with the much cheaper Turkish Mastic or adulterated with inexpensive diluents. 
The real and pure Mastic Chios Essential Oil has a unique and intense fragrance that is unmistakable.
