Cardamom

Recommended Posts

Bastet and Crib Girls are both lovely and very sweet. Also Mango-Infused Pumpkin Chai Latte from the current Weenies might be worth considering, but I haven't tried that one.

I second Spanked, there is a lot of cardamom in that. My favorite cardamom scent is Bezoar notes are: Copaiba balsam, Tolu balsam, hay absolute, cardamom, and hiba wood. It smells like autumn in a bottle to me.

Milk Chocolate, Coconut, Cardamom, Rum and Ginger Truffle... nice, sweet, foody, and perfect amount of cardamom in my opinion! :)

thanks y'all!

 

spanked is out because i hate leathery scents. the truffle one is out because i am generally anti-booze when it comes to fragrance. i am not anti-booze with regards to beverages at all... ;)

can anyone tell me more about mama-ji? all of the reviews seem to contradict each other.

 

gypsy moth might be just the thing...

I get more nutmeg than cardamom out of Mama-Ji, but YMMV. Mama-Ji is sweetly smoky floral incense + nutmeg on me.

I can't do any booze scents either, but Milk Chocolate, Coconut, Cardamom, Rum and Ginger Truffle is very non-boozy to me! :)

Sadly, not much cardamom in the GC (not prominently). It's featured in a few of the Lupers that came out today, I was excited to see that!

 

Thus far though, my favourite is My Little Grotesque. Unicorn and Ram has a bit too. It's also nice (but subtle) in Gypsy (the Moth).

Dead Leaves and Sugared Cardamom from the 2016 weenies was gorgeous too. It took the cardamom a little while to come through properly (mine started out sweet and almost berryish for the first few weeks) but I adore it now. Gutted I missed out on getting a backup but money is a fickle mistress who must be obeyed :(

 

Seconding My Little Grotesque too if you can do cake.

Thirding My Little Grotesque (which is practically cardamom SN on me when wet but gets more cake-y as it dries), though I have high hopes for a couple of the Lupers.

My Little Grotesque was absolutely stunning, which actually prompted my resurrecting this thread. I missed it due to money, but can stop thinking about it. Oh well, a couple current Lupers look promising, and I have Bastet and Mama-ji.

What do you think about Bastet? It's been on my to-buy list for forever because of the cardamom. But I steer (sharply) away from sweet things, so Dead Leaves... was a big fail on me.
