Green cardamom (the queen of spices) is a radiant gem in perfumery. While most suppliers sell oil from Ceylon and India, the supreme variety comes from the lush volcanic nation of beautiful Guatemala. In its native land of India, the spice is held in such high esteem that it forms a vital part of the festival dish payasam, a sweet and highly fragrant rice pudding.
Our cardamom oil comes from the highest grade of green cardamom pods and is the ultimate extraction of the spice. So much so that we call it our signature oil.

Cardamom “Signature” Oil, An Indepth Look:
Cardamom Oil is one of the oldest essential oils known. In the reports of Valerius Cordus dated 1540, cardamom oil is described, and its distillation is outlined” On its uses “In perfumery, the oil will not only impart spiciness, but also a warm, sweet note which fits into floral bases such as muguet and rose. Cardamom oil blends well with bergamot, olibanum, ylang-ylang, labdanum products, nerol, methyl-ionones, cedarwood derivatives, etc. or with heliotropine, cassione, isoeugenol, hydroxycitronellal, etc. Coriander oil is an extremely fine modifier for cardamom oil in perfumery (and in in flavors, too!). The oil imparts warmth in Oriental perfume bases, chypres and face powder perfumes.Cardamom Oil is an almost colorless or pale yellow to light brownish liquid. It darkens when exposed to daylight. ... The odor of cardamom oil is warm-spicy, aromatic (in the author’s opinion it is the most “aromatic” of all the oils from “aromatic” seeds), at first penetrating camphoraceous-cineole-like or somewhat medicinal, reminiscent of eucalyptus. Later, it becomes balsamic-woody, increasingly sweet and almost floral on the dryout. The odor is extremely tenacious with a delightful, warm spiciness and basamic-floral undertone.”
