What does Anice smell like?

The top opens with bergamot, star anise and rosewood, giving a citrus and green start. In the heart, fennel and caraway keep the spiciness going while jasmine and iris add a soft floral touch. The base of vanilla, musk and amber sweetens it and leaves a gourmand warmth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters tie it mostly to leisure and daily wear, with no strong lean towards any one season. Votes for feminine and masculine are almost level, so it reads as truly unisex. Etro Via Verri and Guerlain Eau de Shalimar have a close profile.
