Ganymede by Marc-Antoine Barrois is cool and citrusy from the start, mandarin cut with saffron and a green snap of violet leaf. Osmanthus and immortelle warm the heart, with akigalawood running underneath like a quiet, woody hum. The base turns mineral and dry, smooth suede laid over cold stone for a finish that stays abstract rather than sweet. Launched in 2019 as an Eau de Parfum, it suits men and women alike, fitting anyone drawn to scents that feel more abstract than floral. Voters wear it mostly in fall, by day and into the evening. Both votes read clearly here, long-lasting for longevity and moderate for sillage, holding close rather than spreading wide. A 3ml decant buys you a week to work out if its cool, mineral mood suits you.
