Experience
Once nearly extinct, Anise Myrtle has been revived through reforestation projects and now flourishes in Australia’s lush forests. The oil contains anethole, the compound responsible for its signature sweet licorice scent, and offers a unique aromatic experience that surpasses traditional aniseed oils.
"Although it is relatively new to aromatherapy, it has the potential to supersede traditional aniseed essential oils on the basis of a superior anethole content and a fresher Anise aroma."
