I love cumin (the spice) but stopped having it as it makes my sweat smell bad.

Cumin is an olfactory note in perfumery. When well-paired it adds a lovely and unusual note of spice. Example: The Different Company Rose Poivrée was created by Jean-Claude Ellena, the in-house perfumer for Hermes before the current one. It has notes of coriander and cumin, subtle but distinctively there. If you like it, you like it. Unfortunately for me, after a while it starts smelling like a stinking armpit. Indole is another compound use in perfumery, at intense concentration it smells like poop.
