The Cross with Cumin
Yes, I know: I've had better puns; but when you're running on low ...
I promise: next time it will be better again!

Cumin and its "normal brother," caraway, can either delight or frighten with their aromas.
I love both when cooking; especially with legumes and because of my somewhat sensitive stomach.
When it comes to fragrances, I always have some doubts: in "Angélique Noire," cumin scares me; here I first have to overcome the cumin.
Neither of the cumin siblings leaves any fragrance nose untouched!

In "Seine Amoureuse," this cumin takes off: forward - without regard for losses!
It explodes immediately and unleashes a true fireworks display of its own aroma; this fragrance macho makes it very clear who the boss is here!
It doesn't let me forget it, even though a pleasant suede accord lays over this powerhouse and iris butter (another shaky candidate on my list of favorite fragrance notes) first swings the powder puff before a certain "greasy film" (as a "cumin brake") is drawn over this very special opening.
This benefits the cinnamon and nutmeg nuances; they snuggle contentedly against the soft suede blanket.
Now "Seine Amoureuse" is also starting to become beautiful for me - this fragrance is already very exciting beforehand.
Here, I gladly agree with Yatagan!
Cistus, of course again in its usual crumpled green garb, scratches a bit at the smoothness and thus opens the fragrance gate for smoky-spicy benzoin and the ever-sympathetic nature boy named "White Cedar."
They all give their best (and that's no small feat!) to not only chain the cumin fragrance roller but also to spread a somewhat neutralizing net over its omnipotence.
This finale of "Seine Amoureuse" shines, despite the very generous dose of iris powder!

This fragrance being from the collection of Jean-Michel Duriez doesn't make it easy for me to like it.
But after overcoming its cumin barrier, I do settle down comfortably on the soft, fragrant suede blanket; very taken with this surprisingly spicy fellow (this fragrance is definitely a guy!).
What develops on my skin in the evening and overnight can only be rated with a "thumbs up!"
For the "Sleepless Nights" announced by JMD, this remarkable arrangement of fragrance notes fortunately does not cause that; however, the bedding is happy about this fragrant addition.
So we will cuddle again tonight; after all, every woman enjoys a romantic encounter now and then!

I have tested three fragrances from the generous gift of Turandot so far; completely unbiased, as I was not familiar with this brand.
So I let my curiosity and senses guide me: it was worth it!
And I am very curious to see what treasures will reveal themselves to me.
I will report on it - promised!

Elegant, flattering iris. Creamy-soft-balsamic. Beautifully spiced. Becoming more powdery. Gives me the feeling of being wrapped in a warm blanket...

Cumin on suede, wonderfully dry iris, with a hint of balsam. Only for cumin lovers.

The cumin note is stronger than in Declaration, but here it is not softened by a bright note, instead, it is intensified by resin, powder, and wood.

I season my chili con carne with cumin. The scent feels too much like the kitchen. Too bad, the fine leather note at the end isn't bad...

Iris really needs to take a cold shower to counter the overwhelming sweat note. Cumin just dominates everything here. Brrr!

A lot of cumin with a hint of whiskey.
Spicy, oriental, warm, and powdery (in the base).
Very interesting scent. I like it.

Unassuming start. Its transformation into a warm-spicy companion happens subtly but steadily. Resinous, subtly woody notes contribute to the ...

From silvery shimmering iris powder, it turns into gray-beige cumin powder, later, far away, a sweet cream. More aura than perfume for me.

Once the cumin is overcome, a spiced suede blanket develops, cedar and benzoin harmonize with it; iris is heavily powdery!
