Pernod flavor (5)
I believe the answer is:
anise
'pernod flavor' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for anise that I've seen before include "Aromatic Mediterranean plant" , "Plant providing flavour similar to liquorice" , "Herb with aromatic seeds" , "Plant with aromatic seeds" , "Plant with liquorice-flavoured seeds" .)
