Mastic Chios essential oil is a clear, colourless and intensely fragrant liquid. Nothing has been added to it, and nothing has been removed.
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.
