Lentisque Absolute – Pistacia lentiscus L. – Morocco

Lentisque is a great addition to your perfumery palette

Lentisque Absolute is a complex material, this absolute imparts warm woody effects with balsamic and chocolate accents. It evolves into more balsamic notes (coffee powder), dried leaves and also has citrusy balsamy notes typical of cistus. This also reminds me of pistachio peel oil and in addition it has other notes, It is a very good fixative.

Pistacia lentiscus is an evergreen shrub related to the pistachio tree. It is also called mastic (“lentisque” in French) because of its resin.
