Star Anise Essential Oil 10 ml

• The first impression is sweet and aniseed-like, with a rounded spice that feels rich rather than sharp.
• It suits cosy home fragrance blends, especially when you want warmth without a heavy floral note.
• In a diffuser, it gives a distinctive star anise essential oil scent that feels clear, sweet and gently atmospheric.
• It pairs naturally with citrus, wood and other spice oils when you want a more layered aromatic blend.
• The dark amber bottle and black ribbed cap keep the look simple, compact and easy to store with other oils.

This essential oil comes from the fruit of Illicium verum, the botanical source of star anise. The oil is steam distilled, a traditional extraction method that carries the aromatic compounds of the plant into a concentrated fragrant oil.

Star anise is closely associated with Chinese cooking and spice traditions, where its star-shaped fruit is valued for its sweet, liquorice-like aroma. In home fragrance, that same character gives the oil a recognisable warmth: part kitchen spice, part winter cupboard, part quiet evening ritual. Used thoughtfully, it brings a sense of depth to blends without needing a complicated scent profile.

Add to an aroma diffuser according to your diffuser’s instructions, or blend with a suitable carrier oil before any skin use. Do not apply essential oils neat to the skin.

Patch test before topical use. Avoid use during pregnancy, around young children, and around pets unless guided by a qualified professional. Keep tightly closed, away from heat and direct light, and do not ingest.
