By the editors · 2 min readCumin opens with a warm, slightly animalic edge moderated by bergamot's citrus lift. Heliotrope adds a powdery, cherry-almond quality early on that begins signaling the fragrance's sweeter direction. Lavender in the heart is prominent and aromatic, working alongside sage and jasmine to produce a structured, herbal floral accord.
Almond reads clearly through the middle phase — nutty and sweet without being confected. Sandalwood and amber in the base provide a smooth wooden warmth that carries everything forward. Vanilla gives the dry-down a soft, lactonic quality.
The overall character is herbal-spicy in the opening and sweet-nutty in the close — a useful bridge between fresh aromatic and gourmand-adjacent genres. Wears moderately close to skin.
