One does have to be careful with Cardamom. You're right that it can overwhelm very quickly. For me, though it's a warm and sensual scent that, used sparingly, enhances everything.
Cilantro and Marjoram (both herbs, I know) taste like soap. I can't tolerate them in even small doses, so I can imagine what a "perfumey" taste would be like for you.
Just curiosity, but do you find cinnamon or nutmeg unpleasant?
