Used with care
Anisaldehyde
Anisaldehyde is an aromatic chemical usually appearing as a colourless or pale yellow liquid with a sweet herbaceous scent, reminiscent of freshly mown grass. Though synthesized for industry, anisaldehyse occurs naturally in some plants, including Korean Mint (Agastache rugosa) and Anise (Pimpinella anisum); and is found in many spice extracts and essential oils. It is known to have an almond-anise flavour and is used in perfumery, soaps and some food flavourings.
