Greetings Caointiarn,

I know there are others among us who are much more familiar with spices than 
I, but here's something I happened to have to hand to contribute to this 
topic.  :-)

I don't see any information for Poudre Douce, but according to their Order 
Form the Poudre Forte of the Pepperer's Guild (the spice merchants who were 
at Pennsic this year) contains Cubeb, Cloves, Mace, Ginger, Grains of 
Paradise, Cassia, Cinnamon (Zeylanicum), and Pepper.  

Pepperer's Guild has a web site:
