How it behaves in a formula
Across this library, Cumin appears 2 times as a top note, 0 times in the heart and 0 times in the base. Placement is the single best predictor of what you will actually smell: top-note materials are high-volatility and gone within the hour, base-note materials are fixatives that define the final and longest phase of the wear.
Compositions containing Cumin in this library average 10.0 hours of documented longevity, and skew toward spring and autumn wear. Treat that as a tendency of the spicy family rather than a property of the material alone — dose, supporting accord and concentration all move the result.
Fragrances built with Cumin
Le Labo
Rose 31
Woody Floral Musk · Unisex
Composed by Daphne Bugey in 2006, Rose 31 completely subverts traditional delicate rose perfumes by transforming the flower into a bold, assertive, and unisex creation. The scent opens with a provocative clash of spicy cumin and deep Grasse rose. The woody heart combines crisp cedar and earthy vetiver, resting on a dark foundation of guaiac wood, musk, and oud. It projects a smoky, confident, and deeply sophisticated urban edge.
Parfums de Marly
Pegasus
Amber Fougere · Men
Composed by Hamid Merati-Kashani in 2011, Pegasus is a metallic-powdery fougere fragrance that offers a distinct, aristocratic aura. The fragrance opens with a unique, powdery-sweet blend of heliotrope, spicy cumin, and bergamot. The heart introduces a prominent, smooth bitter almond note laced with clean lavender and jasmine. The luxurious dry-down wraps the composition in creamy vanilla, sandalwood, and warm amber. It is an exceptionally smooth, metallic, and almond-forward creation that stands out in any collection.
