Note

Ginger

Ginger oil comes from the knobby root, dried before it goes into the still, and it smells bright and lemon-like, with a gentle warmth more than real heat.

Everyday reference
It is the sharp burst you smell when you grate fresh ginger.
Versus Cardamom
Cardamom feels cool, with a hint of eucalyptus, where ginger snaps with lemon and a little warmth.
What to smell for
Notice a bright, tingling spice in the first minutes.
