Smells of: warm, spicy, sweet
Role: spice / top note

Cardamom Seed EO opens with a warm, spicy aroma that is both sweet and slightly woody, reminiscent of fresh cardamom pods. As it develops, the scent reveals a creamy, almost buttery quality that softens the initial spice, creating a rounded, inviting profile. In a formula, it adds a rich, aromatic warmth that can enhance both sweet and savory notes, making it versatile across various fragrance types. It pairs well with citrus notes for a bright contrast, or with warm woods and resins to deepen the overall composition. The typical usage in this catalogue is around 0.400%, which allows it to impart its character without overwhelming the blend.
