By the editors · 2 min readCumin announces itself immediately — sweaty, warm, almost animalic — paired with saffron's leathery, slightly medicinal warmth. Rose threads through the spiced opening, jammy and dark rather than fresh, anchoring the composition in a Middle Eastern register from the first sniff.
The heart sustains the spiced rose accord, with the cumin's bodily quality reading as either intimate or polarizing depending on tolerance. Sandalwood and vetiver in the base add a smooth, smoky-earthy foundation, calming the cumin's assertiveness without erasing it. The drydown holds the rose-saffron-sandalwood thread for hours, with leathery undertones surfacing as it warms. Heavy, sensual, unmistakably oriental — a cool-weather scent for those at home with skin-scent intensity.
