Ganymede Marc-Antoine Barrois

Description

Ganymede Marc-Antoine Barrois:

Ganymede by Marc-Antoine Barrois is a stunning and innovative Woody Spicy fragrance, perfectly balanced for both women and men. Launched in 2019, this modern masterpiece was crafted by the visionary perfumer Quentin Bisch, who sought to capture the elegance of fine leather juxtaposed with the freshness of mineral-rich air. At Scents Daily, we highlight Ganymede for its instant transportive power, which begins with a sophisticated and intriguing opening: the precious, slightly leathery spice of Saffron is brilliantly contrasted by a sparkling burst of sweet, zesty Italian Mandarin. This citrus-spice duality sets the stage for the fragrance’s complex and airy development.

The heart of Ganymede is where its distinctive character truly shines. The composition weaves together unexpected floral and herbal elements: the fruity-apricot nuance of Chinese Osmanthus, the green, slightly aqueous metallic scent of Violet Leaf, and the unique, dry, hay-like aroma of Immortelle. This blend avoids the heavy, traditional floral feel, instead maintaining a futuristic, light, and spacious quality. The final, deeply memorable dry-down is anchored by a selection of innovative and classic base notes. The signature element is the striking presence of Mineral notes, evoking the cool, clean smell of stone or hot earth. This cool foundation supports the luxurious feel of soft Suede and the earthy warmth of Musk, Cedar, and Patchouli. The final touch is Akigalawood, a modern note that delivers peppery, woody, and slightly smoky facets, cementing Ganymede’s status as a contemporary icon of sophisticated, otherworldly scent.
