Anise
“Sweet, fresh licorice with a cool, herbal brightness.”
Anise smells sweetly of liquorice, fennel-like and warm with distinctive aromatic sweetness. In perfumery it adds a sweet-herbaceous warmth to orientals and fougere-adjacent scents. In India, where saunf is chewed as a mouth freshener, anise has cultural familiarity. In winter, its sweet warmth comforts. Sweet herbal spice.
