Ganymede by Marc-Antoine Barrois is an Eau de Parfum from 2019 that feels cool and abstract more than floral. Italian mandarin, saffron and violet leaf are the top notes, citrusy with a green snap. Akigalawood, Chinese osmanthus and immortelle give the heart a warm glow over a quiet, woody hum. Suede and mineral notes form the base, soft and smooth over something cold and stony, and it avoids sweetness altogether. Unisex, it fits anyone drawn to scents with a modern, slightly austere mood. Voters wear it mostly in autumn, in the evening and by day, which makes it a calm choice for cool days and early evenings. Most wearers find it long-lasting, and its sillage is voted moderate. Use a 3ml decant for a week to decide whether its cool, mineral character suits you.
