Licorice
Licorice presents a complex olfactory profile, dominated by a sweet, pungent, and slightly bitter anise-like aroma. It possesses a dense, almost chewy texture in the mind's nose, often feeling smooth and dark. The intensity can range from a subtle whisper providing a unique twist to a dominant, almost medicinal presence. Its evolution is typically slow; it often appears as a strong heart note or a persistent base note, lending depth and a distinctive sweetness that is less saccharine than typical gourmands. Projection is moderate to strong, and longevity is generally good, particularly when synthetic anethole is used or when paired with fixative base notes. It rarely functions as a fleeting top note, preferring to anchor the composition.
