At Andraus Parfums we are proud to be able to create our first perfume with well-selected cardamom in order to share with all of you the experience of the best cardamom in the world. 

We have designed all the perfume in the context of the Mayan Culture. The Nawales (sides of the box) mean energy, spirit, force of beings and elements of nature. According to the Mayan worldview, they are symbols that represent and link each person with the ecosystem, thus creating balance. The Jaguar called Balam (in front of the box) was a symbol of power that represented the stars shining at night. 

Enjoy the journey!
