Anethole is a naturally occurring aromatic ether found primarily in star anise, anise seed, and fennel. Known for its sweet, warm, and licorice-like aroma, natural anethole is widely used in flavour formulations, confectionery, oral-care products, and fragrances. Its high purity, stability, and pleasant sweetness make it a key ingredient in perfumery accords, beverage flavours, and traditional medicinal preparations.
