Absolutes 2 Cardamon - Cassie
Cardamom Absolute is extracted from the seeds of Elettaria cardamomum, a plant of the ginger family. The absolute is a dark brown, almost black viscous liquid with a very rich, full, fresh, warm, sweet-spicy, aromatic
odor with a lovely mild
balsamic, delicate, sweet floral undertone. The tenacity of the absolute is very good. It is almost entirely devoid of the the penetrating,
camphoraceous, cineole-like topnote found in the essential oil.
In perfumery it imparts a fine spiciness and warm sweet note into perfume bases such as rose and lily-of-the valley. It is a valued contributor to
high-class male oriented fragrances where spicy, herbal and citrus notes are used extensively.

the most unforgettable odors is that of labdanum, whose, sweet, warm, balsamic odor permeates sunny patches in the pine forests that cover some of
the islands in the Mediterranean or stretch along the rocky coasts of that beautiful blue sea. In the natural habitat of the plant its perfume blends
with that of pine, and perhaps sage, lavender, or thyme, producing an aroma that one may truly call Mediterranean... "

January Updates
Dear Friends-
The New Year has begun and Suzanne and I send our kind greetings in hopes that each one of you will continue to discover the many quiet and
peace-giving joys of life.
2007 was a delight in many unique ways. Thanks to Suzanne's dedication to making White Lotus Aromatics function in a practical and aesthetic way our
two person operation (Suzanne and I) has become more streamlined and efficient. This year also we saw a number of new customers coming from Russia,
Lithuania and China. It is really a nice development for us as we enjoy interacting with people from many different cultures. It makes one realize
how the world of aromatics is capable of bringing people together from many diverse backgrounds.
