Cumin absolue
I had great expectations for this one since Ambre Saffrano is my preferred from the line and I thought I should try a new one.
I can’t stand Gris nor Rouge. For me, unbearable. Too sweet, two chaotic.
So, I got to test it on a paper stripe firstly since I didn’t want to do it right away on my skin.
Intoxicatingly cumin. The only ingredient I could smell within the first ten minutes. Somewhat nauseating…
Lets say I were in the kitchen and suddenly the cumin jar fell open over my head. That was the feeling. And I got sad because I really wanted it to work :/
I kept sniffing it and after half an hour I could smell the cardamom on top of the cumin. It doesn’t smell artificial but not pleasant rather overwhelmingly spicy and by that I mean the cumin-bomb effect on me.
Now after some hours it smells sweet and woody and I think I can recognize the musc and the synthetic ambroxan but absolutely nothing from tonka or sandalwood. Zero.
I am some disappointed. Perhaps I will still try on my skin but the clerk told me if it doesn’t catch me on the first paper strip sniff it’s not worth trying on skin. So ️
