Star Anise
The note unfolds with an immediate, intense burst of sweet, spicy warmth, reminiscent of black licorice or a freshly brewed herbal elixir. It possesses a sharp, almost crystalline clarity upon initial impression, swiftly mellowing into a more rounded, camphoraceous sweetness. There's a subtle woody undertone, a faint whisper of a rooty earthiness beneath the vibrant spice. Its texture is smooth, almost oily, yet with an effervescent prickle on the palate of the nose. Projection is typically strong and assertive, radiating a comforting aura. While it presents initially as a robust top note, its tenacious sweetness and depth allow it to linger gracefully into the heart, sometimes even providing a ghost of its character into the deeper base, adding an intriguing counterpoint to heavier accords. It's never truly fleeting, leaving a distinct, memorable trail.
