Anis De Flavigny - Orange, Anise and Violet Flavored Candies From France 3 Pack 3x1.75oz

SO GLAD to find these on line. Have been enjoying these for years from a local European cafe. The flavors are so yummy. They've quit stocking them so I was thrilled to find them on AMAZON. Better Price too. I love them all ~ Very unique flavors and long lasting too. They are a little harder than typical American Mints but super flavorful. The little tins are cute too.

Delicate little candies in pretty tins. I also purchased the 3 pack of mint, lemon and rose to try those flavors as well. I was pretty happy with all of them. The floral flavors: rose, violet and orange blossom are are exactly that, floral, but I didn't think overpoweringly so. If you'd be put off by the floral taste maybe avoid those ones, but that was what I was looking for. Each mint is a little smaller than a dime and these are hard mints, so no biting (there is even a warning on the side of the tins about this, lol! ) Each also has an aniseed in the center of the candy that you'll get to as the candy dissolves. The only negative I found is that I wish these were a bit smaller, but just a preference. I would definitely buy these again and would recommend these to anyone who would want to try them.

The title says it all, really. I love violet and this was a good way to get my fix. The sweetness didn't overpower that delicate floral flavor I was craving. The orange is not your typical variety of orange candy, so if you want a flavor like Jolly Ranchers or similar, look elsewhere. It's a deliciously subtle taste that makes me want to savor it. I can't give a personal review of the anise as I dislike anise candy, but my husband liked them and he's... particular about candy, shall we say. The tins got here without any broken candy or dents in the tins. The tins, by the way, are very pretty and are good for pill cases and organizing tiny odds and ends. They withstood hot glue without warping. That last one probably isn't the biggest selling point, but hey, I can't be the only crafter that will order these! All in all, wonderful candy and I will buy these again.

I will buy these again, especially the orange. My whole family likes them. Strong flavors.

This was a fun experiment! I've has the Anise flavored mints before and they are lovely, so i wanted to try the other flavors. Violet, while not bad, did taste a bit like eating perfume. Orange blossom tasted good! I liked it, but not a much as the anise. It did taste a bit like fruit loops. I think I'll stick to anise in the future. I will say though, I appreciate the simplicity of the ingredients.

I had these as a child and the flavors are unchanged. Top quality! I love them!!

My mom loves anise and things French. I saw these on an international house hunters episode & was thrilled to find a three pack here. I gave them to mom in her Christmas stocking & she likes them. Even not liking Anise, I find the orange flavor reasonably tasty. The candies are larger than I expected. I thought they'd be the size of chocolate coated sunflower seeds, but they are more the size of supermarket blueberries, a tad smaller than a jelly bean. Had a shipping issue, but the retailer more than made up for it, quite promptly, after I emailed them about it. Recommend the candy, the containers, and the seller.

This candy has been around a long time. The candies are small since they are sugar coated anise seeds. Anise has a kind of licorice-y flavor. The sugar flavorings are all natural and delicate tasting; and while the sugar coating is hard, they are still chewable. The violet is similar to that of C. Howard's violet candies and gum.
