Licorice
This strongly flavoured anisic root has been popular in both traditional medicine, herbal teas and sweets for centuries.
Licorice’s slightly woody, caramel-like facets and relationship with sweets allow for its use in both gourmands as well as other fragrances such as oriental and woody scents.
Similar notes such as fennel, aniseed and star anise can all be found in Anise.
