Aroma and Composition

Cardamom Oil provides a distinctive spicy-green character with sweet, fresh and slightly citrus-like facets. It can add warmth and lift to oriental, woody, gourmand, spicy and fresh fragrance concepts.

Alpha-terpinyl acetate and 1,8-cineole are commonly important constituents of Cardamom Seed Oil, while other naturally occurring components may also be present. The exact composition must be confirmed through the relevant batch COA or GC information.

Cardamom Oil can blend well with citrus, spice, floral, herb, wood and resin materials, including bergamot, black pepper, cedarwood, clove, coriander, frankincense, ginger, grapefruit, jasmine, lemon, mandarin, neroli, orange, patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver and ylang-ylang.

Small formulation trials are recommended because aroma strength and performance depend on the complete product base and dosage.
