Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Darling, I can't say that the one and only cardamom eo I have smells like sweet eucalyptus. Nope - mine smells exactely like the spice I use when I make cinamon rolls (buns are they called here), warm and sweet - a very destinct scent. Where did you get it? I got mine from a German company, but I think I will get some from different suppliers, just to compare. I find it so amazing that the same Eo can smell so very different depending on where it was grown, destilled a.s.o. - collecting fragrant materials is surely totaly addictive :-D BIG HUGS, Ylva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Hi Margaret, Sorry, I missed the original message ... I've also not personally had euclayptusy smelling cardamom EO. Its was always as Ylva describes it, warm and very much like the scent of the spice pods themselves. But, Ylva is absolutely correct when she states that depending on where it was grown, and how, etc .. oils of the same species of plants can be totally different. Case in point - I have 3 kinds of steam distilled lavender angustifolia oil. The countries of origin varied, as did the growing conditions, including altitude. They all smell distinctly unique from each other, especially when compared side by side. They are all very good lavenders, and are lovely smelling lavender ... just different from each other! *Smile* Chris (list mom) Celebrating The Colors of Autumn - ON SALE NOW Virgin Red Palm Oil & 2 Kinds Of Brown Muscovado Sugar <http://www.alittleolfactory.com> http://www.alittleolfactory.com ruby_mama2001 [ruby_mama2001] Darling, I can't say that the one and only cardamom eo I have smells like sweet eucalyptus.
