Product Overview

Our organically grown Cardamom essential oil is a treat for the senses. The extremely tenacious aroma is spicy-sweet, rich, warm, highly aromatic and slightly cineolic, becoming balsamic-woody and increasingly sweet in the drydown. Its pure and complex aroma makes this organic Cardamom essential oil one that we highly recommend!

A member of the Ginger family, Cardamom is one of the oldest essential oils known in perfumery. Presently, it is used extensively in cosmetics and perfumery to add a warm, fresh, and invigorating quality. According to Ayurveda, Cardamom enlivens the heart and refreshes the senses.[1] With a lively array of oxides and ester molecules, it is well suited for massage blends, chest rubs, and in diffusers.

Invigorating & Diffusive

Rating

On application, this oil is very fresh and penetrating. It's unmistakably cardamom, but it has a cineolic edge and I couldn't shake the association with eucalyptus. Those edges soften after 5-10 minutes, and the drydown is closer to what you'd smell in the spice drawer. I could see this being a useful quality in blends (and also in aromatherapy applications), but for those looking for a warmer and richer cardamom scent, I'd recommend the CO2 extraction.

Bold and Tenacious

Rating

This cardamom makes a statement. It's bold and tenacious, leaving a trail wherever it goes. The aroma is strong, sweet, spicy, and interestingly fruity and floral. I love working with this cardamom essential oil.

I got the CO2 as well as the oil and they are extremely different . The oil is lower, not as diffuse. Sweet and spicy, touch of citrus, very very pleasing

This is the best cardamom EO that I've found. Layered, warm and spicy, extremely pleasant.

This organic cardamom is the best out of 3 other cardamom EOs I own. It brings cardamom to a new level of enjoyment for me. It's simply divine.
