Thanks for your comment! As a fan of the fragrance, I'm really surprised that you perceive the cumin as such and even as animalic. I'm "allergic" to cumin, especially when it smells animalic and sweaty. However, in my opinion, that's not the case here at all. For me, it's not cumin at all, but caraway, just like in the original from 1980. It has only a cool-spicy quality and nothing warm-sweaty-animalic.
The scent is great, but the longevity (of the current version) is quite short... the bottle is (similar to Vermeil) silly... I'd prefer it to be transparent.
