Cardamom


Cardamom oil is called the Fire of Venus because of the attraction its smell is supposed to exert over the opposite sex - as applicable to the wearer, I assume. Though chewing on its seeds does counteract the effects of garlic, it's not an aphrodisiac.
Cardamom is a member of the ginger family, another plant used as an aphrodisiac by various cultures.
