Our undiluted 100% Pure Anise Essential Oil (SKU 720) is steam-distilled from star anise fruit, free of synthetic fragrances, fillers and artificial additives. It features an iconic rich, spicy aroma dominated by warm black licorice sweetness, layered with subtle earthy herbal undertones. This distinct scent has long been a beloved core ingredient for traditional fisherman’s soap, delivering a rugged, deep fragrance that masks fishy, outdoor and workshop odors effectively. It also works beautifully for seasonal spice candles, cold-process soap, diffuser blends and custom natural perfume creations.
