Fennel Sweet Essential Oil, steam-distilled from the crushed seeds of the Foeniculum vulgare plant, exudes a sweet, licorice-like fragrance with herbaceous undertones. This perennial herb, reaching up to 2 meters in height, features feathery leaves and golden-yellow flowers. There are two varieties of fennel: bitter Fennel, slightly taller and found both cultivated and wild, and sweet fennel, exclusively cultivated.
