Ganymede

9/10 - Amazing Fragrance

Ganymede is one of those fragrances that immediately feels different from everything else I have. It has a slight aspect of a fresh cologne profile. Where it separates itself from smelling like a typical blue or citrus fragrance is it’s mineralic and futuristic redolence that makes it feel sleek, polished, and almost otherworldly. The opening has a bright, fresh lift, but the saffron and mineral qualities give it a sharper and more abstract character. As it settles, the suede/leather aspect starts to come through and adds depth without making it heavy. That balance is what makes Ganymede so impressive to me. It feels fresh enough to wear casually, but unique and refined enough to stand apart from almost anything else in my collection. Performance is honestly kind of nuts. This is not a quiet or subtle fragrance on my skin. It has very strong projection, a noticeable scent bubble, and excellent sillage. It fills a room, so I would definitely be careful with sprays, especially indoors or in warmer weather. The impressive part is that even with that much presence, it still smells polished and expensive rather than loud for the sake of being loud. What I like most is that it gives off a clean luxury feel: modern, confident, airy, and futuristic but still very wearable. Quite honestly, it’s signature scent worthy for me. I will definitely be buying a full bottle at some point!

It’s growing on me….

At first I wasn’t sure it was for me but after a few more wearings over the last 2 months, I’m starting to enjoy it. The longevity and projection are fantastic but it is definitely a divisive scent.

awesome

when i was 22 i owned a 25 year old camaro in terrible shape and this smells exactly like getting into that car on a sunny day. hot leather, hot metal, and a slight mustiness due to the bad weather seals. lasted a full 24 hours on my arm despite having a shower. i can't stop smelling it
