The cumin scent is warm, spicy, and slightly earthy, with a very forward and pungent aroma that’s both exotic and comforting. Its distinctive, savory profile makes it perfect for adding depth to oriental and spicy fragrance compositions.
Extracted from the seeds of the Cuminum cyminum plant, cumin contains compounds like cuminaldehyde, which contribute to its warm, sharp character. It’s often used in heart or base accords, where it pairs beautifully with woody, spicy, and aromatic notes.
Compared to similar spices like coriander or caraway, cumin is more intense and earthy, with a touch of bitterness that gives it a deep, musky quality. Perfect for candles, diffusers, and body care products, the cumin scent adds a rich, bold note that enhances warm and exotic blends.
