I love this scent, I have been wanting a stand alone cardamom fo for a while now and this is a great execution of that. like when baking with cardamom, it’s not in your face. if you’re expecting a super spicy loud scent, it’s not this. what this scent is is an accurate portrayal of cardamom. it’s maybe a background scent, but you’ll always catch a whiff, it never gets lost or you forget you have a wax warmer going. I think this one works great as a stand alone, but also has tons of blending possibilities. I love blending, but as much as I do I ended up using all of my sample by itself. next time I will try blending with some scents. pear, apple, tea, lavender. lot of possibilities. if you love true spice scents, give it a try. if you want in your face I would go with a clove or cinnamon spice instead
