Cumin

Warm, earthy, and slightly animalic, cumin is one of perfumery's most controversial spice notes because it has a distinctly body-heat quality. In small amounts it adds authentic warmth and depth; in larger doses it becomes sweaty and challenging. Used masterfully in masculine orientals and in Middle Eastern-inspired fragrances.
