About this product
Spicy, sultry and cool all at once; strong and vibrant, yet somehow nurturing. Where most of the deep, masculine oils sit in the base of a blend, cumin is a full-bodied heart note, the warm center of the composition. Some find it frankly sensual. Reactions to fragrance are personal, so let your own nose decide.
This is a total CO2 extract of ethically cultivated Cuminum cyminum seed, extracted in Germany. It carries both the essential oil, about 25%, and the fixed oil of the seed, high in oleic and linoleic acids, so it blends easily with carrier oils for massage blends or a solid perfume.
How to use
Use a light hand. It deepens spice notes, adds texture to the sweet woods, and is said to blend beautifully with galbanum, lavender, rosemary, rosewood and oakmoss. Cumin is a photosensitizer: do not expose skin to sunlight or ultraviolet light after applying. It has had no extensive safety testing, so avoid using it with babies or small children. Store in the dark, refrigerated, and decant half-full bottles into smaller, full ones.
