Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Mintaka kicks off with a bright, peppery sparkle from bergamot and nutmeg, immediately followed by the crisp green earthiness of mate. As it settles, guaiac wood and a soft jasmine emerge, grounding the fresh spices with a sophisticated woody heart. The dry-down is a warm, musky embrace of amber and fir resin, leaving a clean, aromatic trail that's undeniably elegant. It's a journey from vibrant freshness to a subtly comforting deep woodiness.
