Native to the region of Abar in India, cardamom is a reed-like plant whose green or black capsules protect camphoraceous and aromatic scented seeds. Introduced into Europe by Alexander the Great who brought it back from his conquest, the “Queen of Spices” quickly found its place in royal gastronomy. It is mentioned in apothecaries’ accounts of the House of Savoy, dating from the 14th century. In perfumery, cardamom brings a characteristic vibration to the top notes; an explosion of freshness that shivers on the skin. Sniff our Cardamom to get the gist of it.
