More about Marc-Antoine Barrois Ganymede
Ganymede by Marc-Antoine Barrois is a 2019 woody spicy eau de parfum for women and men, created by Quentin Bisch and inspired by the frozen moon of Jupiter. Marc-Antoine Barrois Ganymede is a mineral-forward composition with suede and saffron accents. Its top notes are Italian mandarin, saffron and violet leaf. The heart notes are akigalawood, Chinese osmanthus and immortelle, and the base notes are mineral notes and suede, which give the scent its cool, stony, leathery finish. Italian mandarin brings a citrus brightness to the opening, and violet leaf adds a green edge beside the saffron. Wearers pick Ganymede mostly for fall, then winter, and wear it in the evening or during the day. That makes it a good pick for anyone who wants a woody, spicy and unusually mineral scent for cooler days and dressed-up evenings.
