Cumin
“Earthy, warm spice with a musky, slightly sweaty depth — pungent and distinctly savory.”
Cumin smells warm, earthy and distinctly sweaty-spicy with an almost animalic warmth that is polarising. In perfumery it appears in daring orientals and niche compositions. In India, jeera is fundamental to cooking. In perfumery, cumin is for the brave, its sweaty warmth is unforgettable. Love it or hate it, you will remember it.
