Mingo Falls

Black pepper, pink pepper, incense, and almond open with a warm mix of spice, smoke, and soft nuttiness. Orris butter, heliotrope, and orchid give the heart its smooth, powdery character before patchouli, tonka bean, amberwood, leather, and Bourbon vanilla settle into a rich, warm base. Mingo Falls is creamy, softly smoky, and distinctly ambery, with sweetness balanced by leather and spice.

We chose Mingo Falls because Delphinus takes vanilla and amber in a more polished direction. Orris gives the fragrance a refined powderiness, almond adds warmth without becoming overly gourmand, and incense and leather provide enough contrast to keep the composition structured. It is comforting and sensual, but still composed enough for dressed-up occasions.
