Cardamom is the third most expensive spice in the world, after saffron and vanilla, reflecting its valued nature in perfumery as well.
Ancient Egyptians used cardamom not only in perfumes and incense, but also as a means of cleaning teeth, drawing on its aromatic and antiseptic properties.
Cardamom belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, the same botanical family as ginger, which explains certain shared aromatic notes between the two plants.
