Camden-Grey sells a very high quality cardamom oil. This oil smells very near to the real seeds. It’s very dry, piquant and sharp. A weird feeling of fresh and hot at the same time. (The fresh side is probably brought by the eucalyptol present in the oil). This smell is really biting; there is neither softness nor roundness here. It is very natural and I like it that way.

Cardamom is one of those spices where, in my experience, a little too much can kill a dish. I was hesitant to buy this EO as I could not imagine how to manage its use in cooking let alone aromatherapy. Wow, what a great EO! This is something else! Not the same experience as the spice, this is sweet and mellow, you can't get enough. A very nice Fall note to blend with orange, cinnamon and clove.

This oil is fantastic in a spice blend. It is pricey but you only need to add a little in a blend to enjoy this unique smelling oil.BTW, I've seen the price for this oil on other websites and Camden Grey's was the best. Quality at a fair price

Wow, I just ordered a small sample of cardamom and wish I would have ordered a big bottle. This smells exotic and so unique, I can not wait to play around and devolop a signature blend using this.

This cardamom oil smells fantastic, and they offer smaller amounts so that I could try out something new without feeling guilty. So far my favorite smelling oil.

This oil is a little pricey, but worth every penny! It smells wonderful and it was very helpful in a lotion I made for a friend undergoing Blue Light Therapy for skin cancer. It helped them tremendously with the burning sensations they experienced from these treatments. So needless to say he was thrilled & so am I!

it's expensive for my pocket and generally i use it in small amounts for that reason. but without a doubt, i love it. it reminds me of indian food or more accurately indian dessert. i just a little rose water to go with it. i find myself sniffing the bottle. it's lovely.
