Ganymede Extrait Marc-Antoine Barrois
Dec. 29th, 2023 09:56 amA favourite present of mine, perfume samples! And because I have received some very worrying news, an excellent distraction...
Ganymede is described thus:
Jupiter’s immense satellite has not only inspired our perfume’s name, but is also known to be full of craters and to have an underground ocean vaster than all of earth’s oceans put together. The perfume’s creators, Marc-Antoine Barrois and Quentin Bisch, have imagined it here in a world with an atmosphere brimming with aromatics that it becomes combustible: its sky is gleaming with the sour spike of mandarin and the holy fumaroles of incense and myrrh. It’s a planet covered with warm velvet dunes where the spicy and caramelized everlasting flower is preponderant. The fiery heart of this fragrance reminds us that the gods gave Ganymede eternal life so that his beauty would never fade. Is it the smoldering skin hidden underneath the wild leather? This precious perfume extract is as much a sophisticated perfume as a carnal one.Ganymede EXTRAIT unfolds in its dizzying trail the seduction of great Classics.
The sound of the waves from far away. The wind is sweeping a field of everlasting flowers. The sun takes out its right and heats the spicy, almost syrupy scent of these yellow flowers. The waves are caressing the dune.
The wind picks up the sand into warm, leathery, heady gusts- incense, myrrhe? Grains of sand are twirling, incandescent. The rock is flushing, the Akigalawood and Mandarin bring minerals and freshness. The air becomes… captivating.
“Ganymede's twin with a much more seductive character” - Marc-Antoine Barrois
Or...
Fennel. Lots and lots of Fennel maybe something other vaguely aniseed/liquorice-like with violet extract or violet leaves. There may be curry leaves or cumin deep under all this.The surface of Ganymede is a big herbal hoot! I don't mind it but R hates it instantly. It's not beguiling, it's not approachable particularly, there's no sweetness to it, and it's only carnal if your idea of the perfect assignation is with someone hefting metal cannisters full of cooking herbs to and from the local market. For that, you might as well get them fresh at far less than $380 per 50 ml.
