Cardamom CO₂ Extract
Used in 27 formulas
About this material
Cardamom CO₂ Extract opens with a bright, spicy warmth that is both sweet and slightly herbal, reminiscent of fresh cardamom pods. As it develops, the scent reveals a creamy, almost buttery richness that adds a smooth texture to the overall profile. This extract works well in a variety of compositions, enhancing both gourmand and spicy accords with its unique character. It pairs nicely with citrus notes, which can amplify its freshness, and with vanilla or tonka bean for a rounded, comforting effect. The typical usage in formulas ranges from 0.042% to 1.40%, with a common dose around 0.250%.
