In 6 of 1747 fragrances here, most often worn in spring

What it is

Cumin, celery seed, tomato leaf and herbs used the way a kitchen uses them, aimed at food rather than dessert.

What it smells like

Herbal and salty instead of sweet, closer to a kitchen than to a bakery. Cumin in particular reads as body odour to a fair number of people, which makes this among the riskier directions a fragrance can take.

How strongly it is worn

The average strength this accord is listed at, where 100 means it dominates the fragrance.

54 / 100

What builds it

How much more often than the catalogue average. 1.0x would be chance, so these are the things that genuinely travel with it rather than the things that are simply common.

Accords it sits beside

Same measure, with its own family filtered out. Saying woody turns up with oud is a restatement, not a finding.

When it is worn

Against the average fragrance here. The line marks that average, so a bar past it means this is worn in that season or setting more than most.
