Cardamom is a spice derived from the seeds of the Elettaria and Amomum plants, native to India and Sri Lanka. Revered as the Queen of Spices, it has been used for centuries in culinary and medicinal practices, as well as in perfumery for its unique aromatic qualities. In fragrances, cardamom is a popular top or middle note, adding a fresh and spicy complexity that enhances both warm and fresh compositions.

Cardamom has a bright, fresh, and spicy aroma with a distinctive citrusy sweetness. Its scent carries warm, slightly woody and balsamic undertones, complemented by a delicate herbal and camphorous edge. The balance of cool freshness and gentle warmth makes cardamom an exotic, dynamic, and versatile note in perfumery.
