Ganymede, Ganymede - who are you?
The question could also be "to be or not to be?". In Ganymede by Marc-Antoine Barrois sound at first sight citrus accords (here mandarin) closely followed and quickly replaced by the smell of noble woods and well-groomed thick smooth leather (even if it is not explicitly mentioned in the fragrance pyramid).

Associations of a hotel lobby in the leather chairs, a British club (rather for men than for women) or a new car flare up.

Ganymede is not a delicately flattering or seductive fragrance, it is present - self-confident, but also restrained, powerful, yet always very stylish, somewhat snobbish, with quiet determination the room and the olfactory memory for itself.

Whether you like it or not, he remains in the memory.

For me, a.fragrance for men who know what they want or a - and this is in no way meant pejoratively - first-class, expensive room perfume that exudes style and cultivated hospitality and a house with an. exceptional fragrance shine

A fragrant noble cuddly blanket
Prada Infusion de Amande

My first impression when spraying on - spicy star anise and sweet heaviness.

The star anise is quickly joined by the marzipan scent of bitter almond, the whole seems softer and less sweet in this combination. Tonka and heliotrope round it off and take the initial heaviness. The scent gets softer and lighter as you wear it. Unfortunately, it does not last very long, yet sufficient and to be well scented for example during a visit.

Compared to the Jo Malones Wisteria and Lavender I evaluated this morning is here no cool elegance and understatement of the financial upper class.

This fragrance comes rather homey without being stale. From him you want in autumn when storms sweep around the house, the rain knocks against the windows or in winter the snowflakes dance at frosty degrees let envelop. He is like a warm cuddly blanket or a dear friend who makes you a hot tea in dirty weather and adds some delicious marzipan and clay cookies.

For me, a very nice winter fragrance that is not too sweet and which is certainly also very well received as a gift for lovers of sweet baked goods. Who has a friend or husband on sweets should watch out not to be nibbled

Jo Malone Wisteria and Lavender
Wisteria and lavender

My first thought upon spraying it on my skin. Oh God, unisex", what should I do with it? - it makes an unmistakably fresh lavender scent spread. Something biting, still pungent, but unmistakable ... but. after a few minutes everything relativizes itself.

It's not a lavender like you might remember from your grandmother or a man's perfume. No, a fresh, pure and natural scent.

The thought of an early morning walk across the lavender fields of southern France comes to mind. It is still cool. The dew wets the wood, the blossoms, you can feel the earth beneath your bare feet, the first rays of sunlight come out warming. Somewhere other flowers are blooming, trees stretch out their branches, between which the Wisteria presents its abundant umbels of blossoms. Nature is awakening.

Birds chirping, inside waiting next to coffee and croissants the FAZ or the time to be read.

I remember the movie "A Good Year" with Russel Crowe, London chic, successful stockbroker, tailored costumes and suits, an old mansion, sun, the glamour of times gone by.

Cool businessman meets the sun-drenched south of France and the memories of his childhood and youth.

The fragrance becomes powdery in the course, finer, its cool elegance with warming elements lay around you like a noble silk stole.

Wisteria and lavender is not a fragrance for the beach or a damp happy girls or barbecue evening.He is noble, successful understatement for the executive suite, an expensive club with limited membership, a stylish tea time with champagne in an expensive London restaurant or a visit to a noble French café with Café Au Lait and macarons.

On the skin it lasts a good half a day, on my summer sweater I could still perceive it very well the next day. A very nice and unusual fragrance that will keep its place in my collection.
