Marc-Antoine Barrois
Ganymede
Eau de Parfum 100 ml
A young opus that has already become a key player in the current niche perfume landscape. Ganymede is a magnificent fragrance that plays on an unexpected contrast to become the signature of a new fresh and mineral elegance... The scent moves from notes of mandarin to the spicy and slightly salty notes of the immortelle flower, to sublimate an almost metallic mineral leather... A windswept ocean of salt water, a mythical aesthetic.
"The fantasy of a new, timeless elegance," - Marc-Antoine Barrois.
From the satellite Jupiter discovered by Galileo which gave it its name, Ganymede has the radiant sparkle of a succulent mandarin that bursts out right at the opening of the fragrance. From the Trojan prince captivated by Zeus to whom the gods gave eternal life to preserve his beauty,it has the silky flesh, smelling of Osmanthus with subtle aspects of smelting apricot, powdery violet and velvety suede…
With Ganymede Eau de Parfum, Marc-Antoine Barrois and Quentin Bisch have imagined what a divine skin would be : Fresh skin heated by the caress of beasty leather. Salted golden skin, saffroned by the Immortal sun with facets of spices and hay, enlightened and yet contrasting with a mineral breath, from marble world where the gods live.
Ganymede is a paradox : this breathing Eau de Parfum, is airy rather than olfactive material. However, it deploys an incomparable sillage and remanence. A contemporary classic.
"If B683 started from a memory, Ganymede starts from a fantasy," - Quentin Bisch.
Quentin Bisch designs Ganymede as a revolution in the world of perfumes, a new olfactory cartography. Inspired by Jupiter's satellite, he imagines a luminous and airy fragrance, where mandarin and violet intertwine with leathery depth. This composition, deliberately minimalist and contemporary, plays on the balance between subtle contrasts. For Quentin, Ganymede embodies an olfactory journey, a bridge between the stars and the Earth, between modernity and timelessness.
