Black Licorice
Fragrance notes
Character
Sunlight falls across a wooden table where a bowl of black currants sits beside a small dish of star anise. The air carries a crisp, fruity bite that quickly deepens as the anise releases its soft spicy character. There is a gentle sweetness moving through the scene, shaped by honey that feels warm rather than heavy. Ylang-ylang and rose add a yellow floral touch that keeps the moment bright, never tilting into something cloying. The vanilla here is calm and woody, supported by patchouli and a hint of tarragon that gives the aromatic accord a clean edge.
This is a fragrance that lives comfortably in the open air. The anis note stays present without dominating, letting the fruity and floral elements breathe together in the light. Honey smooths the transition between the top and heart, while the base remains steady and grounded. It feels natural rather than synthetic, composed with care by Ayala Moriel. The overall impression is sweet but balanced, floral yet spiced, and always tied to the clarity of the day around it.
A quiet garden path stretches forward, lined with herbs and late blooms, where the air holds vanilla and star anise in equal measure.
