Licorice
Licorice root smells sweet, woody and distinctly anise-like with dark, rooty depth. In perfumery it adds an unusual sweet-herbaceous character to orientals and avant-garde compositions. It is polarising, people love or hate its distinctive flavour. In India, where mulethi is familiar in Ayurveda, licorice notes have cultural resonance. Best in cool weather when its sweetness can unfold. Distinctive and divisive.
