As a silver surfer through the galactic sea
As a sucker for mineral and metallic fragrances, I became aware of Silver Minerale. It was described as a blend of Ganymede Eau de Parfum and Megamare. Both absolute favorites of mine and so I didn't hesitate long to get Silver Minerale as a blind buy (yes I know, I know). Fortunately, I wasn't disappointed.
First things first: Even though Silver Minerale has similarities to Ganymede Eau de Parfum and Megamare, I still think it stands out enough to not be a mere clone, but to be convincing in its own right. But now to the review.
The fragrance opens with a very green fresh mandarin, which is above all pleasant. I have a hard time with citrus fragrances, as I personally often find them very pungent. Here, however, the note is relatively soft in my opinion. At the same time, the mandarin is accompanied by the typical mineral scent that we know from Ganymede Eau de Parfum or Super Nova. Very synthetic, of course, but perfect for people like me who like it. Especially in combination with the natural green mandarin note, a relatively unique fragrance is created here (although it has to be said that I haven't tried that many citrus fragrances and one or two people here may already know the fragrance combination).
This cool, greenish-silvery kick lasts about 30 minutes and leaves a strong scent trail where you walk before the mineral and metallic notes come to the fore. A slightly aquatic note lingers in the background right from the start, which is nothing special in itself, but adds a touch of freshness in both the top and heart notes. This is where the similarities to Ganymede Eau de Parfum become more recognizable. However, the two fragrances differ in that Ganymede Eau de Parfum is somewhat warmer and sweetly spicy, while Silver Minerale has something sterile (in a positive sense) about it.
The one to two meter tall silver bubble lasts for about 3-4 hours before we finally get to the base note, which to my nose is dominated by ambergris. At this point, the similarity to Megamare with its salty and soft scent in the drydown becomes apparent. The metallic and mineral notes are still very gently perceptible in the background. As if you were covering yourself with a futuristic silver blanket that melts into your skin after around 10 hours and is only perceptible there.
We have now reached the end of our journey through the galactic sea. At 150€ for 50ml, an acceptable price for this trip. For me, Silver Minerale was a successful blind buy. People who love Ganymede Eau de Parfum and Megamare will get their money's worth with this fragrance. Due to the mandarin note, Silver Minerale is not a simple fusion of the two in my eyes (or rather my nose), but stands on its own. For me personally, the performance is somewhat weaker than that of the other two fragrances, but still good enough. However, I have to say that I quickly become nose-blind when it comes to mineral fragrances. I stopped smelling Silver Minerale after just 1-2 hours, while sometimes people behind a bar can still smell it.
Overall, I recommend buying it, especially for lovers of futuristic, cool fragrances.
