Description

Ganymede EXTRAIT by MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS is an intense and captivating fragrance, launched in 2023, that takes the signature of the original Ganymede and amplifies it into a deeper, spicier, and more mineral-rich experience. It opens with a vibrant blend of mandarin, incense, and myrrh, quickly evolving into a fiery heart dominated by an overdose of immortelle, often described as spicy and caramelized. The composition is further enriched by saffron and violet, settling into a sophisticated base of Akigalawood, safraleine, and a distinct leather accord, creating a powerful and addictive trail that plays with contrasts. This extrait de parfum offers a bold and persistent presence, making it a memorable choice for those seeking a modern classic with a seductive character. Perfumer: Quentin Bisch

Quentin Bisch

Quentin Bisch’s energy makes the air around him electric as he talks about scents. This all-encompassing passion is what brought a music student and an artistic director of a performing company to perfumery. A one-month internship in Grasse was all it took to find his true vocation and then devote the next several years to studying fragrance composition. The arts continue to inspire Quentin. He creates perfumes in the same way he might direct a theatre performance using strong ideas, careful embellishments and surprising effects. He has been honored best perfumer in 2020. He signed fragrances for Jean Paul Gaultier, Paco Rabanne, Saint Laurent, Azzaro, Mugler, Chloé, Ex Nihilo, Etat Libre d’Orange.
