Cumin

Used in 74+ fragrances on FragranVerse

What it smells like

Cumin presents a pungent, earthy-spicy aroma with warm, nutty undertones. Derived from the seeds of Cuminum cyminum, this note offers a distinctive scent that is both savory and aromatic with a slightly bitter edge.

How it's used in perfumery

Used sparingly to add depth and warmth to spicy, oriental, and chypre compositions. Cumin blends well with tobacco, leather, and woody notes, creating complex, sophisticated accords.

Fun fact

Cumin is one of the oldest spices used in perfumery, valued since ancient times for its warming, anchoring properties.
