Cardamom
Cardamom presents a complex olfactory profile that is simultaneously spicy, aromatic, slightly sweet, and green. It possesses a distinct camphorous or eucalyptus-like facet in its initial impression, which quickly evolves into a warm, peppery, and subtly citrusy heart. The texture it evokes is often perceived as dry and powdery, though the essential oil itself is oily. Its intensity is moderate to strong, providing a noticeable lift and diffusion, particularly in the opening and heart of a composition. As a note, it typically functions as a heart note, sometimes bridging the gap between the top and base, offering good projection and moderate longevity, mellowing into a warm, lingering spice.
