Second opus of the creative duo composed of designer Marc-Antoine Barrois and perfumer Quentin Bisch, Ganymede is inspired by the eponymous planet orbiting Jupiter, discovered in 1610 by Galileo. A rocky planet hilly by multiple craters, it is marked by the powerful notes of leather and suede. If you explore its surface, you may encounter oceans of salt water whose pungency is reminded by saffron. This natural satellite takes its name from the eponymous character of Greek mythology: Ganymede, a human whose impeccable beauty earned him the elevation to the rank of cupbearer of the Gods; a beauty that softens the leathery notes thanks to its perfume of violet and Chinese osmanthus, and a vivacity translated by the acidic mandarin. Ganymede will later become the lover of Zeus, who will grant him immortality, like the scent of the immortelle found at the heart of the fragrance.
Ganymede or a journey through time and space. The story of a meeting and then a love story where opposites attract each other, turn around each other. But are finally linked by the force of attraction: the freshness and sweetness of mandarin mixed with the spicy side of saffron; the woody notes and cedar rounded off by musk, leather and patchouli. A captivating fragrance, whose contrasting aspect only charms us more.

A crisp yet fresh spice fragrance, illuminated by sage, cardamom and ginger.

journalist opinion
Ganymede is first of all a planet orbiting Jupiter, rough, rocky but full of water ice. It was named after a hero of the Illiad, a mortal of extraordinary beauty, so attractive that he reached the rank of immortal. The translation of this exceptional being is a leather (necessarily), olfactory marker of audacity, but a leather that is not quite one, soft, angelic, infinitely supple, illuminated by the smile of the mandarin. A divine, intriguing and terribly seductive leathery accord.
