How it unfolds
A scent pyramid, not a note list.
Cardamom opens on cardamom, lemon, settles into lavender, green tea, and dries down to sandalwood, amber. Because it is an alcohol-based eau de parfum, it lifts off the skin and carries further into the room — expect 4–6 hours from two or three sprays.

Fragrance profile
What it actually does on skin.
Measured rather than described. Cardamom holds for 4–6 hours, projects at arm's length — noticed, never loud, and reads as soft & airy.

The ritual
How to wear it.
Start on warm skin
Roll or spray once across the inside of each wrist. Body heat opens the top notes.
Pulse points only
Wrists, the hollow behind each ear, base of the throat. Three points is plenty.
Do not rub
Rubbing crushes the top notes and shortens the dry-down. Let it sit.
Re-apply when it steps back
An oil stays close and fades quietly; an eau de parfum carries further and thins sooner. One more pass at the wrists is enough either way.

Complimentary gift wrap for Rakhi orders
Cardamom lasts around 4–6 hours on skin. It is an eau de parfum, so concentration is high and the dry-down is gradual — sandalwood and amber linger longest. Spray on pulse points and once on clothing; fabric holds the scent even longer than skin.
Yes — Cardamom is an eau de parfum, so like all fine-fragrance sprays it uses a perfumer's alcohol base. The alcohol evaporates within seconds of spraying, leaving only the fragrance itself. If you prefer a completely alcohol-free format, Essent's roll-on attars deliver a similar depth in a pure oil base.
Cardamom is genuinely unisex. The bright, zesty character reads elegant rather than gendered, and it is worn and loved by both men and women. Fragrance families like fresh citrus sit on skin chemistry differently for everyone — which is exactly what makes a shared bottle interesting.
Two to four sprays are enough. Hold the bottle 10–15 cm from skin and target pulse points — neck, chest, wrists — plus one spray on clothing if you want extra staying power. Cardamom is an eau de parfum, so over-spraying is unnecessary; let the sandalwood and amber base do the work of lasting.
Yes — Cardamom also comes as an 8 ml alcohol-free roll-on attar with the same scent profile in concentrated oil form. The roll-on wears closer to skin, lasts longer per application and fits any pocket, making it the pick for travel, touch-ups and alcohol-free preferences. Find it linked on this page.
Cardamom makes an easy, thoughtful gift that does not need a big budget. Fragrance is personal, so lean on its breadth: the bright, zesty profile of lavender and green tea over sandalwood and amber pleases a wide range of tastes. For festivals, birthdays or a just-because, it arrives ready to delight.
