Woody

Mastic smells like walking through a sun-drenched Mediterranean pine forest after rain. It's resinous and woody, with a slightly bitter, piney character reminiscent of freshly crushed evergreen needles—think gin botanicals rather than sweetness. There's an almost minty freshness underlying the warmth, with a subtle woodiness that feels ancient and slightly astringent, like chewing on a piece of aromatic bark. It's dry rather than creamy, with an almost incense-like quality that lingers on the skin.

Imagine biting into a fresh mint leaf and experiencing that sudden, startling coolness that makes your mouth feel alive. Peppermint smells precisely like this: sharp, bright, and intensely herbaceous with a subtle sweetness lurking beneath. It's crisp and almost icy—the kind of scent that seems to clear your sinuses just by inhaling. There's a peppery spice to it too, slightly warming, which distinguishes it from spearmint's softer character. It smells clean, invigorating, and unmistakably natural, like walking through a sun-drenched herb garden.
