Cardamom

Cardamom pods come from a ginger relative, and their oil pairs a camphor-cool lift with a soft, sweet spice.

Everyday reference
It is the smell of a green pod cracked open between your fingers.
Versus Ginger
Ginger is juicier and more lemony, with a little heat, while cardamom is cooler, softer and slightly floral.
What to smell for
Notice a cool spice in the opening that tingles but never burns.
