fennel

From the medieval times when it was hung over doors on Midsummers Eve to ward off witches and evil spirits , Fennel has been culitivated in the MIddle East, India and China for thousands of years for its culnary and medicinal properties. The name is derived from latin foenum meaning 'hay' and the oil contains coumarin and its sweet delicate aroma resembles aniseed. For perfumery it is used in herbaceous formulas . This one from profumo.it is clean sweet delicate and aniseedic...what I love about salaam's oils is their true to character with no extra unusual untrue notes.... what you get is the plant in all its spirit.
