Anice
Star anise leads, and the licorice-fennel pairing in the heart keeps the anisic theme running for most of the wear — sweet, slightly medicinal, more pastis than dessert.

By the editors · 2 min readStar anise leads, and the licorice-fennel pairing in the heart keeps the anisic theme running for most of the wear — sweet, slightly medicinal, more pastis than dessert. Rosewood and bergamot give the top a soft tropical lift before the spice takes over.
Iris cools the heart down with its powdery, root-cold character, and jasmine adds a faint floral skin under the licorice. The drydown — amber, vanilla, musk — softens the whole thing into something rounder and warmer than the opening suggested, but never tips fully gourmand. It's a strange opening and a comfortable end, the kind of fragrance that reads cozy after the first turn.
