GANYMEDE EDP MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS

(Eau de Parfum natural spray)

The scent of a dreamlike reality

For this second opus, the duo has not changed, nor the creative osmosis between Marc-Antoine Barrois and Quentin Bisch, but the destination is elsewhere. Creating an elegant and unexpected accord around a quartet of tangerine, violet, immortelle and suede, the two accomplices dreamed up this star discovered by Galileo in 1610. Orbiting around Jupiter, Ganymede is a rocky, luminous planet, submerged in oceans of salt water, so named in reference to this young man from Greek mythology who was kidnapped by the gods subjugated by his beauty to the point of granting him immortality.
Composed by perfumer Quentin Bisch, Ganymede takes up the leathery-suede notes that made B683 a beautiful classic. But this time, they free themselves from traditional codes to take us elsewhere, towards a luminous and fluid elegance. They soften, gain in lightness and tactile softness on contact with the violet, while the mandarin brings its full and tangy liveliness. It is she who sets the tone and the verticality of the fragrance from the start and facing her, the everlasting flower comes in counterpoint to raise the accord of its sometimes mineral, sometimes salty facets.

The whole composition plays on contrasts and oppositions. The notes respond to each other in a permanent dialogue to draw a new olfactory map on the skin, on the lapel of a cashmere jacket or there, near the buttonhole, just in the hollow of the wrist. If an image were needed, it would be that of the four cardinal points: to the north, we would have the zesty vivacity of the mandarin orange, to which the immortelle flower responds to the south and, to underline the olfactory framework, the density of the leathery notes- suede in the west is balanced by the floral delicacy of violet in the east. Four points for an escape in perfume towards a new imagination and other codes of elegance.
