What Is the Difference Between Licorice and Anise Flavor? Licorice and anise have similar aromatic characteristics, which is why they are often associated with one another. However, they are not exactly the same flavor. Anise typically has a sweet, sharp, and distinctly aromatic profile. Licorice is generally associated with a deeper, fuller flavor that can have sweet, herbal, earthy, and aromatic qualities. Black licorice products often feature strong anise-like notes, creating the familiar flavor many people recognize as classic black licorice.
