A singular scent experience
You know that scene at the end of Pulp Fiction when Jules finally opens the suitcase and reveals the glowing golden something inside?

It's a bottle of Ganymede.

This may very well be the best thing I've ever smelled. It's so smooth, balanced, blended, intoxicating. I don't know if I've ever wanted a FB of something so badly. I want to smell like this forever.

I don’t really like it
I’ve actually grown to hate this the more i wore it. At first sray i loved it, it was unlike anything i had smelled before, i was convinced i found a new 10/10 fragrance. HOWEVER, the initial “awe” faded after the first couple wearings and i was left with something that gave me a bad headache and became irritating to smell for 12+ hours (this stuff lasts forever, literally. It gets stronger and stronger the more it sits on your skin)

The more i wore it, the more it smelled very sterile and almost like a hospital. The intense metalic and suede notes became almost suffocating. I ended up selling my bottle last week.

There is nothing like it
This stuff has staying power. I put it on yesterday and I can still smell the base notes even through a shower and multiple hand washes! What the heck! I’m impressed.

At first glance this doesn’t seem like it has notes I’d really like. I’m not a big fan of leather, yet here it works because it’s done with a light hand. This is a cool, but not cold fragrance; there’s something otherworldly about it. The leather and florals work beautifully together. I like it more and more as it progresses, though I appreciated all stages and it was interesting to see how different it was as time passed. This is original and unlike anything I’ve smelled before, very impressive.

In space no-one can smell you
I am late to the game but finally discovering this modern classic thanks to a kind kindred perfumista soul who provided me with a decant.

Famously landing in a blind-spot for some (just like Baccarat Rouge 540 by MFK), I was very curious to find out whether I will be able to smell it at all or not! The reviews online are so different that it's hard to imagine or picture*what* this would turn out like on skin.

This doesn't smell like anything else - in perfumery, yet it does smell exactly like a plastic baby doll I got for Christmas once, a looo-ho-ho-ho-ong time ago. I must have been 4 or 5, but this unique aroma of new plastic always stayed with me for some reason. I loved smelling this doll's painted hair - a bit chemical, a bit fruity, indecipherable really. An ersatz of something that has no equal in Nature. A copy that's bigger than life (see "Annihilation" the movie).

This is probably why it's hard for me to pinpoint any distinct notes - I don't recognize anything, so instead of olfactory analogies it evokes images: this is what that girl in Blade Runner must have smelled like (which Blade Runner? Both!). This is what Gally/Alita from Gunnm/Battle Angel Alita smells like. This is what I imagine a fresh copy of the Japanese streetstyle magazine Fruits must have smelled like - I'll never know...

This scent is a bouquet of emotions. I don't know how I feel about it! I'm annoyed my brain can't classify it next to an image of a fruit or a flower like it does with other perfumes! I'm fascinated by the fact it's both sweet and salty! I'm appalled by how old I am when it triggers flashbacks from my childhood and my adolescence! I'm attracted by its uniqueness and elusiveness !

I think it's a new generation of scents that will replace the "freshies" of yesteryear. Instead of the scent of a freshly washed shirt or a freshly ironed one, this is the scent of a garment that is so new it's not just that it hasn't been worn, it hasn't even been bought yet!

A must-have for cosplayers of robot-like alien cyberpunk characters and/or people with always impeccable hair and styled outfits. I am neither but I don't always follow my own rules and non-sense suits this ambivalent scent . I just feel like I need to buy a mint or powder blue wig to go with it (and just like the wig, wear it only occasionally and for a limited time).

Nostalgia
To start off, I think this is a little too unique. To describe the scent, It smells quite literally like a warm server room with all the metallic wiring OR a freshly used solder station with the steam coming off the PCB, that warm metallic smell + leather/oud + some warm spices is Ganymede. It has absolutely 0 amount of sweetness which makes this fragrance absolutely unforgiving.

Smelling this invokes nostalgia: the moment when you insert a DVD into a warm plastic DVD-Reader with that static TV screen. It smells exactly like that but with extra leather.

Longevity-wise, this stuff is nuclear, I cannot go for more than 2 sprays. More than that can be a bit nauseating, especially in spring/summer. I can't even tell how it changes over time since it is just too strong. At the end of the day, I had to scrub it off...

Will probably will never get a bottle or even a decant because I can't think of any occasion or reason to why I would want to smell like that.

Immortelle+akigalawood smells like curry on my skin, which is extremely disturbing and disappointing. Might be magic for you, not for me.

Definitely tangerine in the opening. The rest is quite disappointing for me - all I can smell is soap. Not bad, but a victim of overhype

Smells like TV static. Very fizzy, metallic, mineral with some woods, florals & leather from the flashing colors. Synthetic yet intriguing
