I come from the middle east and we used to drop a pod of cardamom in the tea pot when brewing it. Also in some areas you get coffee (Turkish style) with cardamom that has already been ground to a dusty constituency. Usually the variety used in tea is preferred to be a little more on the green side, while the coffee variety is usually the dried variety.

Cardamom (called Elaichi in India) is a widely and commonly used spice in tea, biryani, pulav and sweets (especially the ones made as an offering to our deities called prasad). It adds a sophisticated layer of taste to the dish and it's also a great antioxidant. Love Sauvage Elixir as it captures the exact essence of cardamom

Cardamom could also be confused with cinnamon, not only because they're a little bit similar, but they're often used together in both food and fragrances. Even if not listed, I can almost always smell both when I smell one. La Nuit for example doesn't list cinnamon, but it's very cinnimalic smelling to me, it almost smells the way that this bakery next to a grocery store I worked at used to smell when I'd walk past it.

Great Video! Love cardamom in food and coffee, and in some fragrances it does magic. My absolute favorite cardamom perfume is Guerlain's L'homme Ideal Intense. Very tastefully blended. Declaration EDP is another, I agree it is the best of the series, my next to get designer. Intoxicated seems interesting though I didn't like A men that much. Love African Leather, the best of Memo. But to my nose leather is very pronounced. It is beast mode, but if worn correctly very elegant. Enclave is nice but a bit too minty for me. Have to give it a full wear. Rima XI, Gris Charnel & Argentium seems interesting.

Green cardamom might even more intoxicating it’s such a unique scent and flavor. It’s truly magical. It also is a staple for me in curries. I really wanna get more into cardamom as a fragrance note cause as a spice I absolutely love it! It’s really quite interesting that the two main varieties of cardamom come from two completely different plant species. Black cardamom has a distinct smokiness because it’s dried with fire.
