Very beautiful educational video Justin. I love the note of cardamom. Honorable mentions that were not in your video include Xerjoff Ivory Route, Amouage Boundless and in the designer category, the best realistic cardamom fragrance is Costume National Homme Parfum. Such a high quality and edgy designer scent. Top notch

I really enjoyed this video. Great work, JC. You have nudged me ever closer to BDK Gris Charnel Extrait. It might be just what I'm looking for. I'm gonna get my nose on this one. -- CJ --

Hey bro Justin, that’s a great video yep I have some of them in my collection and have a blessing week peace 🇬🇧

Love Enclave. Stunning, well done. Another cardamom fragrance I really enjoy is Soul Batik by Moresque. Has that warm spice that is inviting someone to get closer to you rather than announcing to the whole room you are there.

Cardamom (called Elaichi in India) is a widely and commonly used spice in tea, biryani, pulav and sweets (especially the ones made as an offering to our deities called prasad). It adds a sophisticated layer of taste to the dish and it's also a great antioxidant. Love Sauvage Elixir as it captures the exact essence of cardamom

I come from the middle east and we used to drop a pod of cardamom in the tea pot when brewing it. Also in some areas you get coffee (Turkish style) with cardamom that has already been ground to a dusty constituency. Usually the variety used in tea is preferred to be a little more on the green side, while the coffee variety is usually the dried variety.

Thanks for this kind of video. It's awesome to have notes explained and how different perfumes use it. Cardamom became my favorite note when I first smelled it in YSL La Nuit but these days I'm looking for a heavier cardamon fragrance to replace the YSL. Before cardamon, I really liked Rosemary with sage fragrances and that's how I got into pefume. I love fresh scents that don't try to smell like metal or water. I love spicy cardamon. You keep me interested in Cartier 😂

Great Video! Love cardamom in food and coffee, and in some fragrances it does magic. My absolute favorite cardamom perfume is Guerlain's L'homme Ideal Intense. Very tastefully blended. Declaration EDP is another, I agree it is the best of the series, my next to get designer. Intoxicated seems interesting though I didn't like A men that much. Love African Leather, the best of Memo. But to my nose leather is very pronounced. It is beast mode, but if worn correctly very elegant. Enclave is nice but a bit too minty for me. Have to give it a full wear. Rima XI, Gris Charnel & Argentium seems interesting.

Nice video Justin, enjoyed watching it. Wish there were more Designers in the perfume world using cardamom. Niche perfume prices in Pacific countries is dear as poison. 😂

Cardamom could also be confused with cinnamon, not only because they're a little bit similar, but they're often used together in both food and fragrances. Even if not listed, I can almost always smell both when I smell one. La Nuit for example doesn't list cinnamon, but it's very cinnimalic smelling to me, it almost smells the way that this bakery next to a grocery store I worked at used to smell when I'd walk past it.

I love cardamom! Both green and black cardamom, both for smell and taste. I love black cardamoms smokiness it’s aroma is intoxicating and it’s amazing in curries. Green cardamom might even more intoxicating it’s such a unique scent and flavor. It’s truly magical. It also is a staple for me in curries. I really wanna get more into cardamom as a fragrance note cause as a spice I absolutely love it! It’s really quite interesting that the two main varieties of cardamom come from two completely different plant species. Black cardamom has a distinct smokiness because it’s dried with fire.

Can you do the one with musk also?? Thank you 🙏

Cardamom? What first pops to my mind, after La Nuit de L'homme, is some offerings in D&G The One line: The One EDT, The One EDP and The One Royal Night (I prefer the EDP).
