Marc Antoine Barrois Ganymede Extrait, Sample
Ganymede Extrait opens with a vibrant burst of mandarin orange, its bright and juicy character providing an immediate sense of freshness. This zesty introduction is beautifully contrasted by the smoky depth of incense, which adds an intriguing layer of mystery. The resinous warmth of myrrh follows closely, offering a balsamic richness that complements the initial citrus spark. Together, these notes create a vivid tapestry that evolves with seamless complexity.
As the fragrance develops, the heart reveals the distinctive, spicy-sweet aroma of immortelle. Known for its unique scent that evokes the warmth of curry or the sweetness of maple syrup, immortelle adds an unexpected twist, infusing the composition with a sense of intrigue and depth. The interplay between the immortelle and the underlying incense creates a multi-faceted aroma that is both captivating and comforting, inviting the wearer to explore its nuances.
In the base, the mineral, woody tones of akigalawood meet the slightly leathery finish of safraleine, grounding the fragrance in a sense of earthiness and warmth. This combination imbues the scent with a lasting depth, as the initial brightness of mandarin subtly lingers, weaving through the composition. The result is a fragrance that offers a sophisticated balance of brightness and depth, capturing the essence of contrast and harmony.
