Ganymede Extrait

Ganymede Extrait delivers a denser, spicier, and more intense evolution of the original Ganymede fragrance, leaning heavily into warm, smoky, and herbal accords. The initial burst is sharp and overwhelming—dominated by a pronounced curried spice note from immortelle, with deeper incense and myrrh weaving through a smoky, viscous base. This version is not a subtle refinement of the original but a bold, concentrated reimagining, best described as Ganymede wearing heavy leather and scarves. Performance is exceptional, with longevity surpassing most offerings, and sillage remains strong even hours after application. The fragrance cools down over time into a dry, leathery, resinous trail with burnt sweetness, though some find the opening too aggressive or the immortelle note overpowering. It attracts attention, suits nighttime wear, and appeals to those drawn to intense, architectural fragrances with dark, texture-rich character—though it’s less accessible than the original. It suits those who appreciate artisanal, heavyweight scents, especially fans of Amouage or B638 Extrait.
