Ganymede Marc-Antoine Barrois 2019 Eau de Parfum

A perfume so vain that it is challenging to win it over for yourself. Before my trip to France, I had already smelled Ganymede, but it was November and my nose seemed to have been numbed by all the sweet perfumes (my preference has now completely shifted to fresher scents). On vacation now, around 30 degrees in mid-July, I encountered Ganymede in a small but very fine perfumery and it blew me away. The heaviness of the metallic/leathery notes seemed to have transformed into various woods, and the mandarin as a top note stood out clearly for the first time. I then bought the 30ml bottle and within two months I used it up. For my birthday at the end of summer, my girlfriend bought me the 100ml. However, as I was using up the 30ml, autumn was already dancing in, and somehow more and more of the freshness disappeared, and it now smelled just like I had first smelled it in November. Luckily, summer will be here again in half a year.

The only problem is the bottle - both bottles (30 and 100ml) became leaky after a few trips. My girlfriend has the Tilia (also by Marc-Antoine Barrois), and this problem has not occurred with it so far.
