What it smells like

Cumin smells warm, earthy and slightly sweaty, like spiced seeds with a musky, animalic, skin-like intensity and a dry, savory depth. It feels bold, sensual and a little raw. It is used in the heart to add a spicy, intimate edge. It pairs well with leather, amber, sandalwood, jasmine and musk.

Cumin is listed in 101 perfumes in this directory. It is used across the top, heart and base positions rather than in one fixed place. It is most often paired with patchouli, amber, cedarwood and vanilla.
