About Mintaka
Mintaka by Calone Is a Fresh Take on Oriental Floral
Calone introduces Mintaka, a new fragrance for women and men arriving in 2026. Part of the Oriental Floral olfactive family, it balances sparkling spices, creamy white florals, and a warm woody base.
Although it’s brand new, Mintaka already feels well composed. The opening is bright and peppery, the heart shifts between floral and herbal, and the drydown wraps everything in balsamic, musky warmth.
Top notes of pink pepper, bergamot, and nutmeg make a lively first impression. They give Mintaka an energetic, fresh-spicy start that feels crisp without being sharp.
At its heart, Chinese jasmine and sambac jasmine meet gaiac wood and yerba mate. This is where the fragrance gets interesting: the jasmine feels creamy and white, while the mate and gaiac add a green, faintly smoky edge.
The base is built on woody notes, amber, musk, and balsam fir. It creates a smooth, comforting trail with good lasting power and a subtle resinous glow.
Mintaka’s main accords are woody, fresh spicy, aromatic, musky, white floral, citrus, amber, powdery, soft spicy, and fresh. The combination is nuanced but still easy to wear.
So far, the fragrance has received a perfect 5 out of 5 rating, a strong start for such a recent launch.
Mintaka is for anyone who loves modern oriental florals with a fresh edge. It suits jasmine lovers, wood fans, and those who appreciate a soft, balsamic base. Women and men can both wear it, from daytime polish to evening elegance.
Mintaka is a confident, well-rounded debut from Calone. It opens bright, blooms in the middle, and finishes with comforting warmth — a versatile scent that feels contemporary and refined at the same time.
