🌿 Olfactory Profile & Applications

Our Cardamom Oil FCC presents a complex and nuanced olfactory profile. The initial top note bursts forth with a bright, camphorous freshness, evolving into a warm, spicy-sweet middle note that is both invigorating and comforting. The dry-down reveals a subtle, woody base note that adds depth and longevity. This versatile oil is ideally suited for fine fragrances, where it imparts an exotic and intriguing character. Its applications extend to cosmetics for its warming and stimulating properties, aromatherapy for its digestive and respiratory benefits, aroma chemical synthesis, personal care products, and high-end soap and candle manufacturing. Furthermore, its FCC (Food Chemical Codex) grade allows for its use as a natural flavoring agent in pharmaceutical preparations and culinary applications.

📖 Usage & Formulation Guide

Unlock the potential of our Cardamom Oil FCC with these expert formulation tips:

• Respiratory Support Diffuser Blend: Combine 3 drops of Cardamom Oil with 2 drops of Eucalyptus Oil (Eucalyptus globulus) and 1 drop of Peppermint Oil (Mentha piperita) in a diffuser to ease congestion and promote clear breathing. The synergistic effect of these oils creates a powerful respiratory blend.
• Digestive Massage Oil: Dilute Cardamom Oil to a 2% concentration in a carrier oil such as Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus amygdalus dulcis). Gently massage onto the abdomen in a clockwise motion to relieve bloating, indigestion, and muscle spasms. For sensitive skin, begin with a 1% dilution.
• Cardamom-Infused Sugar for Baking: Add 5-10 drops of Cardamom Oil per kilogram of granulated sugar. Seal in an airtight container and shake well. Allow the sugar to infuse for at least 24 hours before use, creating a fragrant and flavorful addition to cookies, cakes, and other baked goods.
• Exotic Perfume Accord: In perfumery, Cardamom Oil pairs exceptionally well with citrus notes like Bergamot and Mandarin, as well as woody and spicy accords such as Sandalwood and Clove. A suggested starting point for an oriental accord is: Top - Bergamot (15%), Middle - Cardamom (8%), Clove (3%), Base - Sandalwood (10%), with other notes to complement.
