Aniltas

Forget everything you think you know about classic men's fragrances. Forget Oud, cedar, and that spicy aftershave cliché as well. Ganymede does its own thing and doesn't adhere to rules - the scent simply plays in a different league.

Imagine this: You are standing in the lobby of a 5-star hotel in Dubai. Self-absorbed billionaires are walking around as if they have never had a problem. Everything is calm, almost eerily still. And the scent? Clean, but not like laundry detergent. It smells expensive - really expensive. A hint of metal, razor-sharp, as if it represents perfection and endless wealth.

Wearing Ganymede feels like having quiet luxury on your skin. Not a loud statement, but that sovereign kind that needs no words. The scent suits someone who has already arrived in the future while everyone else is still lagging behind. It’s a kind of power that feels modern, dominant, masculine - but never old-fashioned.

This blend of saffron, Akigalawood, and immortelle makes Ganymede much more than just a perfume. It’s as if you are wearing a second, sinfully expensive skin. You don’t just smell this fragrance - you experience it. You need to feel it on your skin, let it work, and see how it even changes the air around you.

In short: Ganymede is a true masterpiece. Those who wear it don’t smell like perfume - they smell like success, confidence, and that “I don’t care” feeling that only true wealth brings. You only truly understand this scent when you inhale it for the first time and suddenly realize that the world around you seems a bit more refined, sharper, simply more luxurious.

The top note is almost metallic rose and chamomile, which makes the scent feel very clean. The oud in the background is tame and Westernly interpreted, perfect for beginners in the world of agarwood fragrances, although it should be approached with caution and a prior test is almost mandatory. It is noticeably cooler and greener than its brother Oud Satin Mood. Those looking for powdery sweetness will be disappointed, but anyone seeking a clear and high-quality rose-oud combination will love it.

For myself, I still need to think about it, as I like the scent but I don't like rose, or rather it means I don't like it, but the scent itself is very beautiful.

A scent that reminds me of a prince in spring, sweet, fruity, fresh, minty, and citrusy.

The fragrance is truly seductive, like a prince searching for his dragons and on a journey in the mountains, surviving on fruits along the way.

I think this is a scent that really anyone can wear, although it should still be tested.

Well, I don't smell anything woody or earthy or anything like that, but it's quite an interesting scent. This mixture of green needle, chamomile, and more green notes creates a fragrance that reminds me of the early days of summer in 2016, where you are surrounded by pine trees in a playground. The scent is also fresh, which makes me think of Vaseline or mint.

Overall, it's a fragrance that I personally wouldn't wear, although it is still quite an interesting scent that I don't regret trying!

I just tried a tester and cannot agree with all the negative reviews.

This slightly salty, gourmand, and really minimally animalistic scent with vanilla is simply mine - mysterious and something I have never smelled before.

And it's also a matter of needing to understand the fragrance, even if it sounds silly, and as mentioned, it’s not for everyone. For me, definitely yes, and I would rate it an 8.5/10.

At first, I thought it was good but not really my thing, but during the drydown, I really liked it.

But if you buy it, definitely test it beforehand!
