Anethol
Fragrance Profile
Anethol (also commonly spelled Anethole) is a classic, high-impact aroma chemical widely utilized in both perfumery and flavouring, renowned for its intensely sweet, warm, and unmistakable licorice and anise character. It provides a rich, spicy, and herbal sweetness that instantly evokes the authentic, mouth-watering aromatic profile of star anise and sweet fennel.

Additionally, it is a foundational ingredient in the oral care and personal care industries. Developed for professional perfumers, flavourists, and manufacturers, our Anethol delivers consistent high purity, exceptional sweetness, and outstanding stability for large-scale commercial production.
