I've never read or seen anyone use cardamom in lure making, it surprises me a bit. Cardamom is warm, spicy, and sweet, with complex notes of citrus, mint and eucalyptus, plus earthy, woody, and balsamic undertones, creating an invigorating, aromatic, and slightly camphorous aroma. Does anyone know why cardamom is so little used/described in lure making?

I think it's much stronger than our noses let us feel and should be used sparingly. I also think it's worth investigating.

It is good in brownies.

Cardamom aldehyde is the chemical (CAS: 21662-09-9).
