What does Ganymede Extrait smell like?

Frankincense and myrrh give it a resinous weight, while Akigalawood® and Safraleine build a spicy woody line. Mandarin orange lightens the density slightly, and everlasting flower stays in the background. The synthetic and oriental accords add a warm, dark feel.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out come first among occasions. Half of voters call it masculine, though it is a unisex scent. Norma Kamali Incense and Arte Profumi Samharam have a close profile.
