Using anise essential oil

[Bnky]

Has anyone used anise essential oil? I have mixed a number of diffenent blends with it, but still have not found one that I like. I am trying to stay all natural (herbal, floral, citrus EO scents that will create a fresh, clean, crisp blend, but not overpowering). I would really like to use anise if there is something it blends well with.
Thanks, Bnky

hey Bnky,
Anise EO is often used in fisherman/hunter soap. You can search on Etsy to get an idea.

Thank you, great idea! I will check there.

..and smells like LICORICE! Maybe make a black soap with it.

Add some fennel and call it Absinthe

BASIL!!! Anise and basil are delicious together. I live down the street from www.getaguru.com , and got the idea from them... I love it.

Thank you everyone! I can't wait to try this with basil...sounds like that may be a good blend.

I actually did anise and basil..as well as seperate..and the basil stunk to high heaven imho.

Sorry but it just really didn't blend well for me. I ended up adding some to chocoate though

Deb: Thanks for letting me know, I was going to try it on a full batch, but I may just try a small one first. Thanks again!
