Fragrance Review: Ganymede Extrait by Marc-Antoine Barrois

🔥

Received a decant a while back from

(Thanks Nick) and finally got around to wearing this fragrance.

The opening is slightly spicy with some of the Incense and balsamic nature of the Myrrh coming through. At 15 minutes I am still smelling the Incense and Myrrh, but I am also starting to pick up some of the Immortal notes which to my nose are coming off dry and earthy. At 30 minutes I am still getting the Immortal note but I am also starting to pick up some of the dry Woody/Hay notes. At 60 minutes the scent has turned into a very dry woodiness and is unappealing to me. I am not getting anything floral or sweet from the Safraleine note. The Dry Down - Incense, dry woods, and pungent. This fragrance is definitely not for me.

Performance: The projection of this fragrance is very good with it creating a scent bubble of about 3 feet for about 3 hours. The sillage is also very good with the fragrance creating a scent trail of 3+ feet for about 3+ hours as well. Longevity is good with the fragrance lasting about 7 to 9 hours and becoming a skin scent after about 4 to 5 hours. If you know me I try to always find something positive in a fragrance but Unfortunately this fragrance is not for me. Anyone interested in about a ~3ML decant please let me know and I will send you the decant. I'd rather someone else enjoy this fragrance (USA Only Please).
