By the editors · 2 min readCumin opens with a distinctive warm-spicy aroma that blends with fig's milky sweetness, creating an unusual but compelling initial accord. Ylang-ylang adds a floral, slightly banana-like richness in the heart, while cedar provides a dry woody support that tempers the sweetness. Sandalwood and patchouli form the base, offering a creamy, earthy dry-down that feels warm and slightly resinous without being heavy. The scent remains relatively linear after the first hour, projecting moderately but staying intimate with minimal evolution. Best worn in cooler seasons for evening or special occasions, it offers good longevity with a unique spicy-woody character.
