Cardamom and Apple
Spicy Oriental Eau de Parfum for Men · green apple, cardamom, green mandarin, lavender, orange blossom, nutmeg, amber, tonka bean, and leather
The crispness of the green apple contrasts with the “queen of spices” from the East: fresh, refined cardamom that glides from a lively opening to a beautifully crafted, leathery amber base.
The essence of Eastern hospitality, brought to life by a crisp apple
Throughout the Middle East, cardamom is the spice of hospitality: the one you add to the coffee you offer your guests. Swiss Arabian’s “Cardamom and Apple” makes it the beating heart of a fragrance and pairs it with an unexpected companion: the green apple, crisp and tangy, with a green mandarin zestée. Right from the start, the cardamom It unfolds its distinctive spicy freshness—at once camphor-like, lemony, and slightly milky: the clash of these two kinds of freshness—the orchard and the souk—is the fragrance’s immediate signature.
The mid-palate unfolds a beautifully executed aromatic transition: the lavender adds its fern-like elegance, the orange blossom a subtle, honey-colored glow, and the nutmeg begins to warm up the overall composition. This is the pivotal moment when the fragrance shifts from fresh to warm, without ever losing its clarity.
The background finally fully embraces the Eastern style: the’amber warm, the tonka bean with almond-caramel notes, and a leather flexible, giving the trolling line its sturdy foundation. With approximately 7 hours of clothing and a strong wake, it’s a fragrance that evolves beautifully: green and crisp in the morning, amber and leathery in the evening. It’s no coincidence that it stands out as the highest-rated fragrance in the collection on Fragrantica: its balance of fresh and warm notes appeals to everyone’s sense of smell.
Cardamom and Apple is part of the ingredient duo collection from Swiss Arabian, the oldest Emirati fragrance house, where it bridges the gap between Vetiver and Orange, the freshest mineral scent in the line, and the more opulent oriental scents from our selection of Dubai fragrances for men.

Performance & sensations
Cardamom and Apple is a fragrance with two distinct phases, and that’s what makes it so endearing: the first, green and crisp, unfolds generously in the opening hours, with apple and cardamom taking center stage; the second, with notes of amber and leather, settles in for the evening with the depth of a classic oriental fragrance. Expect about 7 hours of clothing and a strong wake, with tonka bean and amber among the most reliable fixatives in perfumery; on jackets and collars, the leathery note lingers well into the evening.
Fall and winter are its prime seasons, when its amber base becomes enveloping, but its green top notes and fresh cardamom make it very pleasant in the mid-season, when classic oriental fragrances already feel heavy. Two or three sprays are enough; in the morning for the office, a touch-up at the end of the day revives its amber notes for the evening.
Swiss Arabian's Cardamom and Apple FAQ
What does the cardamom smell like in Swiss Arabian's "Cardamom and Apple"?
Cardamom is the spice of hospitality in the Middle East, the one used in the coffee offered to guests: fresh, aromatic, with notes of camphor, lemon, and a hint of creaminess. It’s a “cool” spice, unlike cinnamon or cloves: in Cardamom and Apple, it adds depth and freshness, without ever feeling heavy.
Is "Cardamom and Apple" a sweet fragrance?
No: the apple is green and tart, not stewed, and the underlying sweetness comes from tonka bean and amber, tempered by leather and nutmeg. Cardamom and Apple is warm on the finish, never cloying: this is a sophisticated oriental fragrance, not a candy apple scent.
What is the difference between Swiss Arabian's "Cardamom and Apple" and "Vetiver and Orange"?
These are the two fresh notes in the collection, but they don’t end up in the same place: Vetiver and Orange remains fresh and mineral from start to finish, evoking stone and roots; Cardamom and Apple starts off green and crisp before shifting to a base of amber, tonka, and leather that’s distinctly warmer and more nocturnal. The first is for its consistent crispness; the second for its transition from cool to warm.
What's the best season to wear Cardamom and Apple?
Fall and winter above all: the cold brings out its leathery amber base and lends its cardamom a magnetic velvety quality. Its green top note, however, makes it very wearable in the mid-season, and its balance of cool and warm notes makes it one of the easiest oriental fragrances to wear year-round.
