Anis perfumes

The anise accord is a scent family that captures the sweet, cool, licorice-like smell of plants such as anise seed, star anise and fennel. It brings both freshness and a slightly candied sweetness to a fragrance.

The main source of the smell is the molecule anethole, and anise, star anise, fennel and tarragon oils are the typical materials. Anise usually shows in the top and heart. It pairs often with lavender, aromatic herbs, powdery notes, licorice, vanilla and woods. Light versions suit spring and daytime wear, while vanilla-rich, powdery interpretations come forward in cooler seasons.

The Anis accord appears in 1,535 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue. Below are the most popular scents where it leads.
