What it smells like

Cardamom smells spicy, fresh and slightly sweet, with a green, camphorous brightness and a hint of lemon and eucalyptus. It feels warm without being heavy, and cleaner and more aromatic than cinnamon or clove. It is often used in the top and heart of a fragrance to add a subtle, elegant spice that lifts other notes. It blends well with citrus, woods, rose, incense and amber, giving blends a lively, sophisticated warmth.
