Lentisque, also known as mastic, is a resinous material with a green, aromatic profile. Its scent combines dry woody facets with a slightly peppery, pine-like freshness and a gentle balsamic quality, giving compositions definition without the sweetness of many amber notes. For men's fragrance shoppers, it offers a crisp, outdoors-leaning character with enough depth for more polished scents.
In perfumery, lentisque is useful as an aromatic accent or resinous support, often paired with citrus, herbs, dry woods and ambered materials. Its effect changes with the surrounding notes: bright pairings emphasise its green lift, while woods and resins draw out its warmer, drier side. Browse these fragrances when you want texture and structure with a clean, natural edge.
