About

Spicy Star Anise combines the warmth of cinnamon with the aromatic and distinctive freshness of star anise. It opens with a burst of pepper and bergamot, which gives way to a heart of anise and juniper, creating an intriguing spiciness. The base notes of vanilla and cedarwood provide a grounding, smooth finish.
