Cardamom

I purchased Cardamom in the massage/body oil. I love the Demeter Perfume Roll-Ons, I think they are vastly superior over the alcohol based sprays for longevity and sillage. I was curious to see if the massage body oil might be used as a perfume oil so I purchased this one in Cardamom. I am happy to say it lasts as long as the Roll-On perfumes. Considering you get a whopping 60mls for only a couple of dollars more over the 8.8ml roll-on this is a worthy investment. Leaves a wonderful trail of fragrance as well as moisturising your skin. This is pure Cardamom, nothing sweet added just the cracked pods. I don't think I would wear this out on its own but the great thing about these oils is you can layer them to make your own signature fragrance. I find Demeter Oils work great with Body Sprays, they just seem to add depth and the sprays last longer. Cardamom goes really well with Body Fantasies Signature Silver Lining Perfume.

I love this scent. But it is not the photorealistic cardamom I was hoping Demeter would deliver. I was looking for the sharp, biting, almost green cardamom scent of freshly ground pods. This is more warm and smoothed out. Its the scent of cardamom baked into cookies, sitting in a milky tea, rounded out with soft ginger and milk and sugar. Still a beautiful scent and cardamom is the hero, just not in the version of it I hoped for. Like most Demeter products, its not very long lasting and doesn't have crazy projection, but there is nothing else quite like it.

i was so excited to get this one in the mail, and it definitely lives up to my own hype. there is so much depth and warmth to this fragrance - i know this is said often about the demeter library, but this cardamom smells much more expensive and complex than it is. if you’re on the fence about buying, go for it. it’s soothing and comforting, almost gourmand, yet striking and assertive. lovely.

Spicy smooth cardamom with cinnamon bark. Sweet, jummy and perfect for christmas. I get gingerbread, spices.

Soft spicy earthy herbal cardamom scent, very realistic, very crude, like the actual ground cardamom I use in cooking. It starts off crude and earthy-spicy with the usual herbal green quality of cardamom and I agree with the reviewer below me that it smells like herbal tea in a good way, but it also has the spiciness of cardamom. It's not perfumey at first at all, and not sweet unlike the cardamom in KKW Nude Soleil or BBW Lost in Santal, but rather unisex and plain. It develops into a more creamy scent with subtle sweetness from the cinnamon in the mid stage and drydown. It's not a prominent cinnamon, but a soft warm sweetness smoothing out the crude spiciness of cardamom. Lasts about 30-40 mins on me, very short-lived. I still like it.
