What does Ganymede (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters recommend fall and spring, with winter next and summer chosen least. Leisure, night out and evening lead the occasions, though it also fits business and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, but it stays open to a unisex reading.

It opens with Italian mandarine and saffron, the citrus brightness meeting a warm, spicy edge. Violet and Chinese osmanthus absolute bring a soft floral heart. In the base, Akigalawood® and immortelle absolute lay down a dry, woody, slightly leathery floor. The overall feel is a synthetic, modern freshness.
