Perfumes with Cumin
Cumin smells warm, pungent and slightly salty, with a sweaty, skin-like facet; in perfume even a small amount leaves a distinct, warm and sensual mark.
Seeds of Cuminum cyminum are steam-distilled into an essential oil whose key component is cuminaldehyde. That molecule recalls both cooking spice and human sweat, so perfumers dose it carefully. Cumin is used mainly in the heart of a fragrance and often in the opening. It pairs with cardamom, black pepper, jasmine, rose, lavender, cedar and vetiver, and adds an animalic warmth to florals.
Cumin appears in 1,138 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue and is used mostly as a heart note.
