The cardamom is there, but not like in the vintage batches. It seems more like the current version has been copied. The rose, for example, can only be detected with a lot of imagination. The lavender is present and actually similar to the original. But the cardamom is hard to judge; I found it noticeable but not "vintage-worthy." However, I found the longevity better than the current version. Definitely worth a test! :)
