Description
Springfields Fennel Sweet is a 100 per cent pure sweet fennel essential oil with a warm, sweet, peppery aroma and a pronounced aniseed and licorice character. It is a distinctive oil that sits as a top to middle note and reads immediately in a blend, so it is usually used sparingly alongside softer oils. It has an unusually specific safety profile, so please read the Safety section before you use it.
Product Strengths
- Sweet fennel is traditionally used in aromatherapy as a warming, comforting spice note in a blend.
- 100 per cent pure sweet fennel essential oil, with nothing blended in or extended.
- Warm, sweet, peppery aroma with a clear aniseed and licorice character.
- Steam distilled from the seeds.
- Springfields applies a testing protocol intended to confirm the oil is pure and unadulterated.
- Australian owned company, bottled in Australia.
- 10 mL bottle, and a little of this oil goes a long way in a blend.
Suitable For / Not Suitable For
Suitable for: General household use.
Not suitable for: Pregnant or breastfeeding women, unless advised by a health professional.
Botanical Source
Foeniculum vulgare, sweet fennel, steam distilled from the seeds. The species, plant part and extraction method follow the pack, and match the standard aromatherapy reference profile for sweet fennel oil, which gives Foeniculum vulgare, seeds, steam distilled. The sweet type is distinguished from bitter fennel by a higher proportion of the aroma constituent trans-anethole, which is what gives the oil its licorice note. The growing origin of the crop is not declared.
How to Use
Diffuser: add a few drops, around 6 to 8, to the water in an ultrasonic diffuser or oil burner. Massage: dilute into a carrier oil before any skin contact, keeping within the low maximum given below. Fennel is strongly aromatic, so start with less than you think you need. Confirm directions from the product label.
Safety
- For external use only. Not to be taken, and not for internal use unless under qualified supervision.
- Always dilute in a carrier oil before skin contact. Sweet fennel carries a lower recommended maximum than most oils: Tisserand and Young, as reported by AromaWeb, give a dermal maximum of 2.5 per cent, so stay at or below that rather than working up to the usual 3 per cent.
- Patch test on a small area of skin before wider use.
- Keep away from the eyes and mucous membranes, and do not use on broken or damaged skin. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation develops.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: here the references agree and the caution is firm. Tisserand and Young, as reported by AromaWeb, contraindicate fennel oil in pregnancy and breastfeeding, and also in endometriosis, in oestrogen-dependent cancers and in children under 5. The Aromatic Studies pregnancy guidance independently lists fennel among the oils to avoid in pregnancy, on account of its phenyl methyl ether content. Springfields itself prints no pregnancy warning on this pack, so the caution here comes from the reference literature rather than the manufacturer. Do not use this oil if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Tisserand and Young also note that fennel oil may interact with medication and may inhibit blood clotting. If you take prescribed medicines, particularly anticoagulants, speak to your healthcare practitioner before using it.
- Do not apply the oil to the skin once it has oxidised, as skin sensitisation becomes more likely.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Essential oils are flammable. Keep away from open flame and heat sources.
Storage
Store below 30 degrees Celsius in a dry place away from direct sunlight, with the cap firmly closed between uses to slow oxidation.

This is an aromatherapy product, not a therapeutic good, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition. Always read the label and follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist, consult your healthcare practitioner.
