Cardamom (NI)
Nature identical (reconstruction)
A fresh, spicy, slightly sweet and aromatic fragrance.
The fragrance opens with a cool, camphorous freshness, followed by warm, resinous and subtly citrusy undertones—often compared to eucalyptus, lemon and sweet ginger.
In perfumery, cardamom is used to add sparkle and sophistication to both masculine and unisex fragrances, especially in oriental, woody and spicy compositions.
