Fragrance
Marc Antoine Barrois Ganymede, Sample
Marc Antoine Barrois Ganymede is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men, crafted by the talented perfumer Quentin Bisch. At first spritz, the fragrance opens with the energising, crisp brightness of Italian mandarin, which dances delicately with the unique, cool aroma of mineral notes. This combination creates a refreshing and invigorating opening that is both lively and sophisticated, setting the stage for a scent that is as intriguing as it is inviting.
As the fragrance evolves, the heart reveals a softer, more sumptuous character. The violet leaf adds a fresh, green nuance, while the smooth, creamy suede note introduces a layer of luxurious depth. Chinese osmanthus, with its slightly fruity, apricot-like scent, rounds out the heart, adding a subtle floral elegance that weaves gently through the composition. This interplay of notes creates a harmonious middle that is both captivating and comforting.
In the dry-down, the fragrance deepens with the warm, spicy embrace of saffron, complemented by the earthy richness of akigalawood. The immortelle note, with its sweet, slightly honeyed aroma, adds a unique touch that lingers beautifully. Together, these base notes create a lasting impression of warmth and complexity, leaving behind a trail that is both sophisticated and alluring. Ganymede is an ethereal niche scent that captivates with its fresh and intricate composition.
