Use

Essential Oil Cardamom seed has the distinctive metallic spice scent of cardamom. It is quite strong and you usually use it in small quantities, for that reason it can be useful to make a 10% dilution, for example in DPG. In small quantities it can add a nice accent to almost all types of floral scents. In addition, it is mainly used in amber perfumes, in leather, citrus and spice scents. You usually use between 0,1% and 2% of this substance in the fragrance composition, you can overdose, but then cardamom is the first thing you will smell. It is primarily a top to middle note in perfumes and is stable in most products, including soap.

Store cool, dry and dark.
