A bright scent that drifts through the room like a cloud

Lovely, warm and yet not sweet
Mastic smells fine and bright, not too sweet, not too tart. A scent many people find especially clear.
🏝️
From the island of Chios
The finest quality comes from Chios in the Aegean, where the mastic shrub (Pistacia lentiscus) has been cultivated for thousands of years.
📜
Part of the Kyphi recipe
Mastic was already known in ancient Egypt and is an ingredient of the legendary Kyphi recipe, which Indigo also offers.
If you burn pure mastic in a room without draughts, you will notice something special: the smoke forms a closed, calm layer and drifts through the room like a floating being.
Indigo calls mastic a “bringer of light” among natural resins and recommends it for meditation and light work. The tears are translucent white to pale yellow; the pale yellow resin comes from older shrubs.
On Chios mastic has also been used in cooking for centuries, for example in pastries and liqueurs. Indigo fills the tears in top quality in 25 g jars. Mastic is also an ingredient of the Indigo blends Wishing Well and Heart Chakra.
📋 How to use
Hold the incense charcoal with tongs over a flame to light it and place it on shell sand in a fireproof vessel. Let it glow for about 15 minutes until it is covered with white ash. Then add two or three mastic tears with an incense spoon. Enjoy the scent as if smelling a flower, do not inhale it. If it starts to smell burnt, lift the remains off with the spoon and smother them in the sand.
