Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ganymede EDP
Ganymede is a polarising beast, a true love-it-or-hate-it scent that defies easy categorisation. For those who get it, it's a futuristic masterpiece; for others, it's just plain weird. Definitely not for a blind buy then, is it?
Acquired
Our Verdict - Jupiter EDP
A standout budget take on Marc-Antoine Barrois' Ganymede. Jupiter tracks the original from the mineralic mandarin-saffron opening through the suede heart to the woody, immortelle-tinged drydown with striking accuracy. The opening's mineral edge is fractionally sharper, but otherwise this is one of the closest Ganymede clones around.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ganymede

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and distinct metallic-mineral character make it a bit much for casual or office wear, though some find it acceptable with light application. Ganymede truly shines in evening settings or for more formal occasions where its unique luxury can be appreciated.

Jupiter

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The warm, woody-leathery and saffron-spiced character makes this a cooler-weather scent for autumn and winter, wearable in spring; a little warm for high summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual Formal

Sophisticated and refined - made for evenings, dates and smart occasions, with enough polish for formal wear; too distinctive for sport.
