Swiss Arabian Cardamom and Apple Eau de Parfum
A crisp, spicy 2024 release for men pairing green apple and cardamom with lavender, nutmeg, amber, tonka bean and leather.
Swiss Arabian Cardamom and Apple Eau de Parfum is a 2024 spicy oriental for men, built around a fresh green apple and cardamom opening that moves into a warm, leathery amber base. It's a good example of the brand's newer, more modern-leaning releases.
What does Cardamom and Apple smell like?
The top notes combine green apple, cardamom and green mandarin for a bright, slightly tart and spicy start that feels immediately fresh. The heart brings in lavender, orange blossom and nutmeg, adding an aromatic, lightly floral warmth. In the base, amber, tonka bean and leather create a smooth, slightly sweet finish that grounds the fresher opening notes.
- Top notes: Green Apple, Cardamom, Green Mandarin
- Heart notes: Lavender, Orange Blossom, Nutmeg
- Base notes: Amber, Tonka Bean, Leather
Performance and when to wear it
Cardamom and Apple is typically moderate to long-lasting on skin, with the tonka bean and leather base helping it hold through the afternoon. It works well as a year-round scent, being fresh enough for daytime and warm enough in the base for cooler evenings.
Who is it for?
This suits men who like fruity-spicy openings that settle into something warmer and more grounded, rather than staying sweet throughout. If you enjoy cardamom and apple as a pairing and want a leather-amber base underneath, this is an easy, wearable choice from Swiss Arabian.
