CARDAMOM (CEYLON)

Ceylon cardamom refers to cardamom associated with Sri Lanka, whose former name remains in the fragrance label. Its appeal is fresh aromatic spice with a sweet side, rather than warmth alone. In floral compositions, that freshness can create a lively contrast with fuller blossoms such as neroli or ylang-ylang.

The botanical material is Elettaria cardamomum, and natural essential oil is obtained by distilling its seeds. A specification for Sri Lankan oil describes the oil as fresh and characteristic. The geographic name identifies an origin, not a separate plant species or a guarantee that every material will smell the same.
