Perfumes with (noticeable) Star Anise note? 0

I have yet to come across a scent with a distinguishable Star Anise note. It is often made unidentifiable mixed into a spice blend that usually reads clove! (why is clove in everything 🙃 ?). If anyone has any recommendations please let me know. The scent of Star Anise is wonderful to me, it's kind of the only sweet scent I can tolerate at the moment...and it's not even classified as sweet hahaha!

Anice maybe? If you click on the note 'Star Anise' in the pyramid on the page for this scent, you may find some other suggestions for Anise forward scents.

@Swe3tiebee definitely Hypnotic Poison (2014) Eau de Parfum - it's like a cream-filled star anise-flavored licorice! And no clove to be found with that one, either 😊

Mandragore Pourpre Eau de Parfum is all about star anise.

Also, you could try Assenzio

Confetto or Douce amère for your creamy vanillic gourmand anise.

Anice for an aniseed cologne - very refreshing on a hot day. Punchy and ouzo-like.

Aqua Allegoria Anisia Bella - pretty floral watercolor painting.

I know some people find aniseed prominent in Lolita Lempicka (2012) Eau de Parfum . I don't particularly, but maybe worth a try.

Also Lolita Lempicka (1997) Eau de Parfum (original) has a really strong star anise note for sure btw!

Star Anise has such a unique, almost cool licorice-like vibe, but it’s so often buried under other spices—especially clove (which, yeah, seems to be everywhere 😂).

If you haven’t already, check out L’Artisan Parfumeur - Fou d’Absinthe. It has a prominent Star Anise note right at the opening before it blends into the woods and absinthe vibe. Also, Mugler - A*Men Pure Shot had a nice Star Anise kick, though it’s discontinued and tricky to find now.
