By the editors · 2 min readCumin announces itself with a warm, savory spice that merges with lemon and bergamot’s sharp citrus backdrop. Sandalwood and leather form a robust heart—creamy wood meets rugged, tannic accents—while cedar adds structural dryness. Tobacco and patchouli dominate the base, creating a smoky, earthy dry-down that feels rugged and contemplative. The scent evolves from spicy-citric to a leather-tobacco accord with significant depth and persistence. Projection is assertive initially, calming to an arm’s length sillage that lasts all day. Ideal for cool weather and evening wear where its bold character commands attention.
