Perfume bomb! I am ecstatic. Finally, I have found something new that I cannot go back to my old, beloved scents. Even strangers are amazed!
This is undoubtedly a complex and sharp fragrance that you will notice and feel on every skin. Speaking of the smell and how it smells, imagine that you are melting wax in a wax warmer and at the moment when it is almost melted, a certain scent starts to come through, accompanied by a citrus note, but more like a detergent, and then a faded smell of iodine. Together, this combination creates a scent of cleanliness, simplicity, sometimes roughness, and superficiality. Specifically for enthusiasts of sharp and "superficial" fragrances. I deducted one star only because I physically cannot tolerate it on myself, the smell is too overpowering. But overall, it is very interesting.
I disagree with the comments about the hospital and so on... and the fact that it is masculine.
Perhaps you haven't matured enough for this scent, the section with the smell of gum is somewhere else.
Do you want to know how it smells: luxury... success... power... sex? Then go for this perfume.
I received this fragrance as a gift. To me, it truly resembles a dental office, a hospital, iodine. In my opinion, it is not suitable for women at all.
I can't help but be amazed by it, it's like an orgasm! I used to be indifferent to all perfumes, but this one... well, it just took my sense of smell's virginity! Ladies, this is like having sex in Cuba! ❤️
I, in general, do not understand women's reviews. It is written as unisex. However, for me, it is not a feminine scent. In my understanding, it is meant for women only in the sense of inhaling it from a loved one. It is the smell of a successful, confident man with some notes of pepper, cedar, sandalwood, and expensive cars. This scent is not for boys, but for men who have already achieved something. It has a very long-lasting sillage. It stays on clothes for up to 4 days. I step into the elevator and already understand that my man was here. From the bottle, I have only used a third in 2 years. Therefore, it is worth the price in terms of quality. It is niche. You will never mistake it for another. However, I emphasize once again that I do not see it as suitable for women.
So, I tested the popular Ganymede, gave myself two days to gather my thoughts and impressions, and here's my conclusion: it's definitely not a classic feminine perfume, the scent is very complex for young and light-hearted girls. It won't suit girls under 30, those who are cheerful and Barbie-like... it would create a dissonance in meaning. This fragrance is unisex, and that says a lot. It's the first fragrance that I can call lively, flexible, ever-changing, and possessing an artificial but intelligent quality. It's a mysterious fragrance that plays a game with you, asking "guess what you'll smell like in a minute". Yes, it's definitely a perfume compilation, shamelessly using quotes from the most popular fragrances of recent years. But they are so masterfully intertwined into something unique that you realize - you've never heard anything like it before, or maybe you have, but not like this...
P.S. Despite Ganymede being a purely unisex fragrance, in my opinion, it will appear more sensual, prestigious, and winning on men. It's a fragrance of the future, where the differences between yin and yang, man and woman... good and evil are blurred.
The ozone mineral detergent and clean! This is an amazing thing, if, of course, you bought the original 💯 percent. For those who write about it being like a hospital, I congratulate you; most likely, you have a fake because this scent is very popular now, and naturally, there are many fakes of it. The scent itself is intriguing and magically attractive. It truly feels like a guest from the future...
I received this as a gift and gave it to a friend who is a talented plastic surgeon. It has a distinct smell of iodine, bandages, and a hospital, which is quite interesting.
This fragrance smells like diamonds in cold platinum. It has the captivating aroma of Ganymede. ❤️
I purchased it from a different place, but it smells like a dental office.
This fragrance is quite unique. Its pyramid is intriguing 🤗 It lasts for 8 hours, which is very satisfying.
This fragrance is absolutely stunning, it is simply incredible!
How do you ladies wear it? It's just a waste of money 🤯 I simply can't stand it, it literally smells like burnt rubber and iodine as if I'm in a hospital.
I bought a 30ml bottle here after familiarizing myself with a similar perfume at a fragrance counter. I assumed that I would be able to get a rough idea of what it was like and form an impression. If I hadn't regretted spending the money and opted for an original sample, I would have ordered 100ml right away. The scent is mysterious, perhaps slightly reminiscent of iodine, but believe me, it doesn't repel at all, and it is so fleeting that you don't even have time to analyze it. I have come to the conclusion that associations with leather boots and burnt rubber with Vishnevsky ointment come from the consumers of fragrances from plastic 5-liter canisters with a specific number. It is very long-lasting, multi-faceted, sometimes disappearing and then reappearing, mesmerizing and attracting attention, and it sounds expensive. If you're afraid of medicine, don't worry, it won't hurt. I recognize it on people as both the original and a rough replica.
I did not buy it here. I initially bought a 5ml spray bottle. I fell in love with it from the first spray. Now I am using the full-size bottle. I will buy more. This is an out-of-this-world fragrance.
The fragrance is nice... I tried a fake one for the first time... sprayed it and could smell iodine very strongly)) didn't like it... a week later, I put on a sweater and couldn't understand why it smelled so good❤️ after that, I bought the original version for myself at the store (if anyone needs, I have good alternatives for 450). Everyone at work asked about the new scent. I couldn't resist and bought the original here to compare😃 The smell is nice, not overpowering. There is no iodine in it... it disappeared in a week even from my non-original perfumes. I don't understand where the smell of Vysnevsky ointment is in this one🤔 (as they write about it).
I can't find anything better than this product. I have tried everything, and it's like a drug - luxurious, stylish, sexy. Especially for those who love the smell of a car's interior. I don't understand those who think otherwise, with all their bandages and hospitals. I try something else as a replacement, but I always end up coming back to it... I guess it's love...
This fragrance is very unusual. At first, I can sense bandages, a procedural office. But for some reason, it doesn't repel me at all. It's strange, but interesting, like wow. It has something mystical, enchanting. I can hear crushed leaves, a bit bitter. I have also tried a similar one - Royal Forest. That one was heavy and cold for me, associated with a wet forest and a heavy steel plate. But this one - wow. It's definitely a discovery for me.
I am concerned about the associations that arise in most girls and women familiar with this "scent". Several reviews accurately summarize them: "something cold and overpowering, an association with the cold metal of a spaceship and distant lifeless planets", "the smell of a medical office, something similar to dentistry or dermatology", "the hospital smell transformed into a somewhat sickly sweet aroma. That's how it smells in the procedural room...". I decided to try it on my wrist. What can I say? The lasting power is stunning. Ganymede overshadowed all the other scents I tested that day (except for Quentin Bisch's sister in the Royal Forest). They simply paled in comparison. And seemed ordinary and banal. However, Ganymede is unconventional and very unforgettable. It stayed with me until the evening, until I washed it off. The sleeve of my winter jacket smelled like it for a few more days. Passing by the wardrobe, I could still catch a whiff of this scent, allowing me to fully enjoy it. In conclusion, Ganymede has captured my interest. But due to some nauseating notes, I will refrain from purchasing it for now. I will go for a new test.))
Definitely worth testing out first! I also notice a smell similar to ichthyol/Vishnevsky ointment. And even after two hours, the scent, although not as strong, has not changed on me. It's the same ichthyol ointment.
A fragrance that uplifts your mood, captivates, and enchants.
This fragrance is absolutely exquisite, it is simply incredible!
I bought it elsewhere, but this fragrance is simply incredible! I can't even describe it... Out of this world!
I am simply shocked, I couldn't imagine that such a scent could be reproduced! It's something on the verge of fantasy! Unbelievable!) It's as unusual as something I haven't experienced in a long time... It's like not just a perfume, but a mood, you wear it and you want to conquer new heights! The scent of a confident woman who doesn't rely on others but is playful and desired. I can't say that I see it on a man or a sweet, submissive girl, it's the scent of a woman who knows what she wants. There is absolutely nothing old or musty about it, it's like a magazine, a fresh glossy, fresh dollar bills, the scent of a new leather jacket with a hint of wood bark, flowers, musk, a scent but so fresh! Nothing sweet, everything is sexy but cold, I consider it a must-have for a business meeting or wherever you need to be composed, confident, make a statement, be strong and confident. Yes, this is the scent of strength, confidence, and sexiness!
The perfume is simply a masterpiece. It should not just be tested, but rather tamed, only then do they reveal themselves in a cosmic way. They play and harmonize these notes, the longevity and sillage are impressive. Simply love it!
I had high expectations for this fragrance, based on the reviews. I ordered it and was disappointed. It smells like bandages smeared with Vishnevsky ointment.
Oh, this fragrance is simply amazing, but it's definitely a matter of personal preference. It has a fresh scent and excellent longevity, but of course, it also comes with a higher price tag! I tried a sample to test it out, and I really liked it!
Well, what can I say? This is a masterpiece. A work of art. It will be popular for many years. Fresh, new, spicy, and interesting. The longevity and sillage are impressive. The mineral-citrus opening and beautiful immortal flower in the base are like the shell of a walnut. However, it is so lovely! I feel like I'm in a glossy magazine or a brand new car showroom. All of this is truly here. But it is harmonious and beautiful. I prefer it more in the summer. When applied correctly, it refreshes like a mountain stream. I would even classify it as a fragrance of purity. However, I like it less in the winter because the aldehydes become stronger. P.S. Getting a pack of wet wipes as a gift with a perfume for 11,000 hryvnia is cringe-worthy.
Incredible scent that constantly unfolds, I can feel it on my hair and wrists even on the next day. I bought it here on the website, 30ml size.
This product is very interesting and incredible.
The scent is not for everyone, just like the entire niche. I consider it to be a peculiar segment because they try to make fragrances unisex. However, they end up being neither here nor there, mostly a bit strange. Nonetheless, I continue to study aromas.
I think it may not be suitable for everyone, but on some people, it's simply wow. I really like it on my mom. It seems to me that it's for confident, self-sufficient, strong women. That's how I would describe it. It's too much on me, immediately wow, after half an hour it starts to irritate, after an hour I want to wash it off. And it will sound strange on young girls.
Amazing fragrance! Women claim they can smell bandages and dentistry, but there are no such notes here! In these perfumes, I can perceive the scent of mandarin, glossy magazines, very delicate suede, mineral and metallic notes! The fragrance sounds very beautiful and harmonious, with great longevity and a strong sillage, nothing sticks out. Furthermore, they also say it's not long-lasting - what a lie! You just need to let the fragrance settle for at least three weeks, or even better, a couple of months, and then it will delight you! In my opinion, this fragrance is more masculine, as it sounds better on men. Many thanks to Makeup for the original product!
The perfumes need to be "tried out", the first impression, yes, there is something medicinal, but... let it be on you, the smell is simply beautiful, then...
I received a 30ml bottle and I am very happy. I have been in love with this fragrance for a long time, but I am hesitant to get the 100ml bottle because I'm afraid that my obsession might fade away. The perfume has an androgynous style and would suit individuals who prefer this kind of scent. I disagree with those who say it smells like band-aids. It has a scent as if someone spilled Bailey's on a fresh glossy magazine. People at work tell me that I smell like vanilla cheesecake mixed with photo developing chemicals. There are people who remember how that smells. If you are into mineral scents or, like me, love leather fragrances for their chemical undertones, then this is the one for you. But make sure to test it first, as this masterpiece might not agree with you physiologically.
This fragrance is specifically designed for men, so it's not surprising that women don't like it. The initial scent in the sample was different, but the base remains the same. I ordered it here and have been using it daily since the purchase, putting other fragrances aside for now.
The scent is amazing, it lasts for a long time, and has a pleasant lingering trail.
The fragrance is simply amazing.
Hospital, medicine, Vishnevsky ointment, freshly printed magazine - and that's it. In my opinion, the scent is very specific, but poor. It gives the impression that positive reviews are just making fun of those who haven't bought it yet. Along with it, I ordered Amouage Memoir Man - ohhhh, that is truly a masterpiece. Not for everyone, but with so many notes and chords, it is truly worth attention. As for Ganymede - it's a waste.
The fragrance is very controversial, it's for "those who like it" (that's why it's niche). It leans towards a masculine scent. Personally, I find it quite bitter and sharp, a bit aggressive. I would recommend it for older ladies, for winter, as an evening fragrance. Not for everyday wear. It's difficult to wear it daily. I will give it as a gift to my mom. Because I love fragrances that are about lightness, joy, love, laughter, excitement, and youth - but this one tells a different story.
Durable, but very smelly. My head was hurting all day and felt nauseous.
This is my love ❤️❤️❤️
This product has captured my heart and I am absolutely in love with it. It has become an essential part of my life, and I cannot imagine going a day without it. Its exceptional features and functionalities have truly won me over.
Every time I use this product, I am filled with joy and satisfaction. Its performance exceeds all my expectations, and it never fails to impress me. The quality is outstanding, and it is evident that great attention to detail has been put into its design.
Not only is this product visually appealing, but it is also incredibly practical. It has simplified my daily routine and made tasks much more efficient. Its user-friendly interface allows for effortless navigation, making it a pleasure to use.
Furthermore, the durability of this product is remarkable. It has proven to be reliable and long-lasting, ensuring that I can enjoy its benefits for a significant period of time. It is evident that the manufacturers have prioritized quality and durability.
In conclusion, this product has stolen my heart. Its outstanding performance, exceptional quality, and practicality make it a worthwhile investment. I highly recommend it to anyone in search of a reliable and efficient product. I am truly in love with it! ❤️❤️❤️
My love and admiration! I have been wearing it since the fragrance came out and I love it all year round. It is very long-lasting, so it doesn't fade away easily. It has an amazing scent! It represents the spirit of self-sufficiency and modernity. It's like the smell of the universe! For me, it serves as both a mood booster and an antidepressant.
Everyone experiences the scent differently... It is very similar to Alexandre.J Mandarine Sultane 1:1. I didn't really feel anything out of this world. There are much more vibrant and intense fragrances available.
Based on the reviews, I understand that I need to get it! And that's exactly what happened with my Bakara, my love!
I tried a sample of this product. The scent of the socks in cheap shoes was overwhelming.
Excellent fragrance. Unique, luxurious, multifaceted, and long-lasting.
This fragrance is indescribable! It's in a league of its own, unrivaled by any other! It's impossible not to be inspired by it! When I wear this perfume, it's like stepping into a different reality! I simply melt into it... It is definitely not sweet! It has a slightly bitter and spicy scent... I don't know how to put it, but right now, it is absolutely incomparable.
I agree with the previous commentators who suggest testing the fragrance in a small amount first. My impression is that this fragrance indeed needs to "grow" or, more accurately, "develop." It is one of those few perfumes that initially shock with its difference from others and the ambiguity in perceiving its initial notes, but provide pleasure as it unfolds throughout the day. One thing I can say for sure is that after using it, you will think three times about returning to luxury fragrances that are noticeable from others, even if they are expensive but recognizable. Instead, you may consider sticking with these not cheap but distinctive perfumes, as we wear them to stand out in a BETTER way from others and leave a wonderful reminder of ourselves to those around us.
This niche fragrance is absolutely amazing! It lasts all day long.
It has a unique scent of iodine and gauze bandages, reminiscent of dental clinics and the smell of cleanliness. It's top-notch!
I have been contemplating for a while about what this product reminds me of. It's something in between Solidol, a mineral oil for lubricating mechanisms, and the scent of newly polished shoes. It doesn't reveal anything more, from beginning to end. It's a shame because I was expecting something incredible based on the reviews.
Today I received and couldn't resist testing it out. First off, it's a bandage. Within a couple of minutes, I started falling in love with it. I'll wait for it to fully settle and then write a new review. I got it to mend a tear in another place. I highly recommend it. At least give it a try.
Since the previous review got cut off, I'll add:
Right now, it's an absolute LOVE!!) The wardrobe niche is spacious, and my hand gravitates towards it - towards the handsome GANIMEDE!)
Oh, it's absolutely magnificent! Long-lasting, with a beautiful trail and magical scent! Definitely one of my favorites!
But, under no circumstances should you buy a niche fragrance without testing and wearing it first! Niche fragrances are not like luxury ones... luxury fragrances are designed for mass consumers and are easily understandable by everyone. Niche fragrances work differently.
I tried Ganymede four times - as soon as it was released, I got a decant because the initial descriptions and reviews were ambiguous.
During the first application, I was completely puzzled, shocked, and disgusted. It just didn't work for me. I tried to wash it off, but it clung to my skin and it was torture because it made me feel disgusted and nauseated.
First, I sense sweet notes, and then it transitions into a scent of leather or suede. It is highly long-lasting, and the fragrance accompanies me throughout the entire day!
I didn't buy it here, but I decided to leave a review. At first, I purchased a sample to try it out. As soon as I received it, I decided to give it a try. And yes, it was both familiar bandages and something else. I decided to let it settle. And, oh, what a miracle! The scent completely transformed and captivated me instantly. I just couldn't get enough of it. Moreover, during these difficult times, it became a true antidepressant for me. The longevity is excellent. It performs well even in hot weather. I had to buy a bottle, and I absolutely don't regret it.
The fragrance is inspired by the legend of Ganymede, a hero in Greek mythology who possessed flawless beauty, allowing him to rise to the rank of cupbearer to the gods and become the lover of Zeus, who granted him immortality.
This unique perfume composition opens with the liveliness and radiance of mandarin and saffron, while violet and Chinese osmanthus bring softness to this aromatic structure. The absolute of immortelle, hinoki wood, and the dry, pure powdery notes of minerals complement the beauty of "Ganymede".
The perfume is incredible! It's unlike anything else! However, it is essential to test it out because everyone has different preferences.
