Understanding the material
Biolandes identifies plant exudate as the source of its mastic essential oil. This is distinct from foliage-derived lentisque materials associated with the same plant. The resin oil is described through woody and lightly balsamic aspects. Common names that overlap by plant context still need the source part and product type to be read carefully.
