Ganymede, a Warm Suede Saffron

Marc-Antoine Barrois Ganymede is a warm suede saffron scent. Our version keeps that feel, opening with saffron and mandarin before a violet leaf and immortelle heart settles over soft suede and akigalawood.

The Story Behind the Scent

Marc-Antoine Barrois built Ganymede as a smooth, futuristic suede, all soft saffron and warm skin with a metallic edge. The idea was a modern, tactile elegance.

That warm softness is its appeal. The saffron and mandarin give it a bright, spicy lift, the violet leaf and immortelle add a soft warmth, and the suede and akigalawood keep it smooth. Our interpretation follows that same modern path.
