Crystal Saffron Matière Première 2022 Eau de Parfum
1
Sci-Fi Spice
Opens with a metallic note that quickly gives way to saffron (think hot plastic + spice), with incense eventually joining the show.
It’s very reminiscent of Ganymede Eau de Parfum — not an exact match, but it has that same synthetic sci-fi vibe of plasticky metal and spice, and if you own one, you probably don’t need to buy the other.
That said, this feels a little more removed and impersonal, whereas Ganymede has a more sensual side. If Ganymede is the hottest guy on Arrakis, this is his sexy but chilly and slightly formal cousin.
Protection and longevity are powerful — the atomiser on my sample was wonky so I accidentally oversprayed and had to wash my arms a bit before leaving for work lest I slay all of my coworkers with my delightful reek. Unisex but leans traditionally masculine.
