Umuthi Aniseed Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the seed of Pimpinella anisum . It has a sweet, spicy, liquorice-like aroma and is commonly used in aromatic blends, personal care products, and perfumery where a warm spiced note is wanted. This is a highly concentrated essential oil, so it should always be used sparingly and properly diluted for topical applications. It is not the same as using whole aniseed in food, as the oil is much more concentrated.
♡ Why we love it: This is one of those oils that adds instant character to a blend. Its sweet spiced profile is distinctive, comforting, and especially useful when you want to bring warmth and lift to aromatic formulations.
