Anis Fragrances

The anis (or anise) accord is one of the most distinctive and immediately recognizable in all of fragrance, delivering that sharp, sweet, licorice-like quality that either captivates or divides a room. The note comes primarily from anethole, found naturally in anise seed, star anise, fennel, and tarragon. In perfumery it reads as simultaneously sweet, herbal, and slightly medicinal.
