Cumin

Cumin is an earthy, warm, and slightly smoky spice derived from the dried seeds of the Cuminum cyminum plant. It has a distinctive, pungent aroma and is commonly used in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mexican cuisines.

Cumin has a robust, earthy aroma that can evoke feelings of comfort and warmth. It is often used in hearty, savory dishes and can lend a sense of depth and complexity to a fragrance. Cumin-based fragrances can be well-suited for casual, relaxed settings.

Cumin is commonly used as a base or heart note in fragrances, adding an earthy, spicy depth. It is often paired with other warm, woody notes like sandalwood, amber, or patchouli. Cumin-based fragrances are frequently found in men's colognes and some unisex or oriental-style perfumes.
