Escentia Aniseed Pure Essential Oil is a 100% pure essential oil steam distilled from the dried seeds of Pimpinella anisum . It is widely used in aromatic blends, home fragrance, and personal care formulations for its sweet, spicy, liquorice-like aroma. This oil is especially popular in diffuser blends, massage oils, and fragrance-led bath and body products where a warm, comforting scent is wanted. It is a concentrated ingredient and should always be used in small amounts and properly diluted.

♡ Why we love it: Aniseed has such a distinctive scent profile that a little can completely change the character of a blend. It brings warmth and sweetness to aromatic recipes and pairs beautifully with spice, herb, and wood notes.
