A great option if you like the smell of anise but find it a bit too strong, sweet fennel has a floral scent with an herbal top note and anise-like aroma. A wonderful touch for soaps and hair products because of the delicate green undertones that balance the sweet scent. Its main main qualities are warming and drying. Should be avoided by pregnant women and lactating women, persons with endometriosis and epilepsy. Blends well with anise, basil, carrot, geranium, dill, lavender, lemon, rose, rosemary, sandalwood, tarragon, and yarrow.
