Cardamom
The Green Ember
A spice that hides cool breath inside its fire.
✶
Cardamom is the rare spice that opens cool — eucalyptic, almost camphorous — before revealing a warm, peppery heart. She has the green snap of a freshly cracked pod and the slow, resinous sweetness that follows.
A versatile top-to-heart note, she lifts compositions without burning them, lending elegance and a strange luminous chill.
