@@marcthompson4875 absolutely. gotta say, first sniff was little bit disappointing, but let it settle a bit and the freshness in combo with all the woods in there hits u harder than anything. This smells georgeous and lasts longer than most freshies out there. For me it lasts til the other day on my skin, and on clothes like a week.

I’ve owned Ganymede & BI, I find Ganymede more interesting but BI is easier to wear. I’m a fairly casual person; my office vibe is very relaxed too, so I find for day to day use BI makes more sense. I prefer catching whiffs of BI throughout the day as well, sometimes living in a cloud of Ganymede for a whole day can get annoying. I don’t love either if I’m honest (I usually prefer soapy & amber fragrances) but these two fragrances are a nice change from my usual rotation. Edit: other people really like both from experience. That doesn’t really matter to me, but thought I’d mention that in case it matters for you. Performance is borderline annoying for me sometimes (all day). Go easy on the sprays if you are staying indoors.

@@marcthompson4875 it’s really everything I’ve wanted in a fragrance. Likability, nobody dislikes it. Good performance and projection. And 10/10 versatility. And I’d say it’s under the radar which tops off its “unicorn factor”. A truly perfect fragrance for what I want.

I agree with Justin on Bois Imperial an Incredible fragrance. Simple but sophisticated at the same time. Initially bought a 10ml for 20€ and 3 weeks later i bought the 100 ml (78€) It is really unique , very bright and woody at the same time if you comparing it to Kenzo EDP. The note of basil mixed with the Akigalawood & the vetiver make this fragrance very unique. Bois Imperial is like a mix of the woodyness of the Kenzo with a type of freshness close to Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EDP It became a signature scent for me and i didn't expected it be a crowd pleaser but it is. I cannot count how many times people asked me "what is the name of your fragrance?" when i wear this one. Great scent , long lasting (without being cloying) , versatile and very affordable.

When I saw the title I thought about Wulong Cha X, funny to see it there. For the rest, didn't know people could find Kenzo EDP, Bois Imperial and Ganymede redundant. They feel and smell very different to me. It's probably because I get something rather sweet from Kenzo EDP (smells like cola), and to some extent to Ganymede, not for Bois Imperial tho. As far my unicorn fragrance? I sampled Dandy or Not G.A. from D'orsay lately and I love it. It's easy to wear, elegant, uncommon, and could simply fit any situation. Performance is alright for me too (definitely not a beast mode fragrance or anything close to that tho).

Hey justin, random question :) hope it's alright! I've sampled ganymede a bunch of time (ordered samples 6-7 times because I've enjoyed it so much) and finally bought a bottle a year ago. Recently I've got the impression that the Parfum smells different to me. Not explicitly "bad" or worse, but the parfum smells kind of .. "sour"? Maybe even kind of sweaty, not really (I've never had that issue with cumin for example which some people experience). I assume its the "curry"ish note you mentioned a few times, caused by one of the flowers if I remember correctly. Was it osmanthus or immortelle? It definitely smells much darker as well. All the samples I've tried never had that on my skin. Does it vary depending on badge (though I've never cared about that) or maybe the full bottle is just concentrated more and also sprays more than a sample? Maybe my skin chemistry kind of changed because it smells way different on my gf so that might be a reason. I just kind of miss the fresh, airy, fruity, "magical" feel that I experienced when using all the samples! Not that Ganymede smells much worse now and I still enjoy it, but I kind of feel like I've lost a bit of its spark :)
@stayfreshproductions 2 ай бұрын
I’ve definitely experienced this before with different fragrances. It’s hard to say why it happens. Batch could be a variable, how it was decanted, how the bottle from such the decant cans was stored, etc. Maybe give it some time.
