Marc-Antoine Barrois 
GANYMEDE 
Eau de Parfum 30 ml 
 
Family: Fresh Mineral Leather 
 
The perfume of an oneiric reality 
 
For this new 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 harmony around a quartet of mandarin, violet, immortelle and suede, the two fellow artists have dreamt of this new planet: Ganymede, the rocky satellite of Jupiter discovered in 1610 by Galileo, is both luminous and covered with salt-water oceans. It acquired its name from Greek mythology: a young man, Ganymede, was kidnapped by gods who had been so enthralled by his beauty that he was offered immortality. 
 
Composed by perfumer Quentin Bisch, Ganymede once again makes use of the suede-leathery notes that had made B683 a beautiful classic. This time though, the artists emancipated from traditional codes to take us somewhere else, towards aluminous and fluid elegance. Those leather notes become softer, gaining lightness and gentleness in contact with the fragrance of violet. The mandarin smell brings its full vivacity and its acidic essence. The latter gives the tone and verticality of the fragrance from the very start. Yet opposing it, the immortelle is its counterpoint and raises the scented harmony with its double-sided fragrance, at times mineral, at other times salty. The entire composition plays with contrasts and oppositions. 
 
MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS perfumes are the outcome of the friendship between French couturier & artistic director Marc-Antoine Barrois and perfumer Quentin Bisch. Since 2016, their creative bond has given birth to exceptional perfumes with a unique and memorable signature. The uncompromising quality of those fragrances offers a remarkable longevity and sillage.
