Cardamom is a precious spice in perfumery. Its delicate cultivation and unique fragrance make it indispensable. Let's uncover its secrets.
Cultivation
Producers primarily cultivate cardamom in India, Guatemala, and Sri Lanka. It requires a tropical climate and rich soil. The plant grows under the shade of trees in humid conditions. Farmers hand-pick the pods while they are still green. This artisanal method ensures optimal quality.

Producers steam-distill the dried capsules to extract the essence. This traditional method captures the pure and fresh fragrance of this beautiful spice. Creators use the essence obtained for its spicy and refreshing notes.
