Marc-Antoine Barrois Ganymede

Eau de Parfum Mineral, soft leather, woody All year round, personal signature, office and creative events

A modern masterpiece of supple suede, luminous mandarin, and a futuristic mineral-ozonic accord.

Composed by Quentin Bisch, Ganymede redefines leather perfumery for the modern era. It opens with bright Italian mandarin and velvety osmanthus providing a soft apricot nuance. Immortelle adds a subtle salty-spicy facet in the heart. The true star is the base: an overdose of Akigalawood (a clean, woody fraction of patchouli) combined with mineral notes that generate an airy, ozonic, futuristic suede trail that hangs effortlessly in the air.
