Frequently asked questions
What is true aniseed essential oil?
It is the essential oil steam distilled from the seeds of Pimpinella anisum, true aniseed. It is a different plant from star anise (Illicium verum), although the two oils smell similar.
What does aniseed essential oil smell like?
Sweet, warm and liquorice-like with a spicy edge. It is powerful, so a little goes a long way in perfumes, soaps and candles. The SDS, IFRA documents and full specification are available on request.
Why has my aniseed oil gone solid?
Aniseed oil naturally thickens or crystallises in a cool room. Warm the bottle gently and mix before use; the quality is not affected.
What pack sizes are available?
From 100 ml up to 5 kg, all priced online. For regular volumes, ask us for a bulk quote.
