Ganymede

Ganymede doesn't smell like much else we make, or much else on the market, which is exactly why people seek it out. It's our take on Marc-Antoine Barrois' Ganymede, near 96%, and one of our more premium scents.

Mandarin and a cool mineral note open it, then an unusual heart of violet, saffron and a metallic-leather accord gives it that slightly futuristic feel, over woody akigalawood and musk. Strange in the best way. We keep it at full extrait strength, which is why it lasts the way it does.

A spring and autumn evening scent, unisex, and a distinctive one rather than a crowd-pleaser. If you like fragrances that get noticed for being different, this is the pick.

The Perfumer's Note — Mazhar Hussain Bodla

"An unusual woody-mineral scent, citrus and a metallic violet over woody musk. Honestly: it's a niche, modern oddity in the best way, distinctive rather than crowd-pleasing, and it lasts for ages."

• Apply on clean, moisturized skin (best after a shower).
• Spray 2–4 times on pulse points: neck, wrists, behind ears, inner elbows.
• Hold the bottle about 10–15 cm away from the skin while spraying.
• Do not rub wrists together – let the fragrance air-dry naturally.
• For extra lasting power, lightly mist on clothes from a distance of 20–30 cm (avoid silk/light fabrics).
