Cardamom

Cardamom is a vibrant and aromatic fragrance note with a warm, spicy, and slightly sweet character. Its scent blends fresh herbal brightness with soft citrus and subtle resinous nuances. Often used in top or heart notes, cardamom adds energy, elegance, and an exotic spicy freshness to perfume compositions.

Chemistry and Molecular Structure

The scent of cardamom is mainly created by aromatic compounds such as 1,8-cineole, terpinyl acetate, and limonene. These molecules belong to the terpene and ester families and contain carbon ring structures with functional groups that produce fresh, spicy, slightly sweet, and aromatic notes characteristic of cardamom in perfumery
