Smells of: warm, spicy, earthy
Role: spice / middle note

Cumin essential oil has a warm, spicy aroma that opens with a rich, earthy profile reminiscent of warm bread and slightly nutty undertones. As it develops, the scent reveals a more complex character with hints of sweetness and a subtle, almost animalic quality that can add depth to a formula. In compositions, cumin can enhance the warmth and richness of other ingredients, making it particularly effective in oriental and gourmand fragrances. It pairs well with notes like amber, vanilla, and other spices, creating a rounded and inviting base. Typically, it is used at a dose of around 0.600%.
