Aniseed

Aniseed is a warm, licorice-like aroma derived from the seeds of the anise plant (Pimpinella anisum). It has a sweet, slightly minty scent with notes of fennel and black licorice. Aniseed is commonly used in baking, liqueurs, and traditional medicines.

Aniseed has a comforting, nostalgic quality that can evoke feelings of coziness and relaxation. Its sweet, licorice-like aroma is often associated with holiday baking and traditional confections, making it a suitable note for cozy, festive fragrances. Aniseed-based scents can be worn year-round, but are particularly well-suited for the cooler months.

Aniseed is commonly used as a base or heart note in fragrances, providing a warm, comforting foundation. It is often paired with other spicy, sweet, or herbal notes like cinnamon, vanilla, or fennel. Aniseed-based scents are frequently found in gourmand, oriental, and fougère-style perfumes.
