The review
On paper, Hanymede is a reasonable bet if you want Ganymede for less.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Ganymede's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 63% less than Ganymede — the 3rd cheapest of 5 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on saffron and italian mandarin, turns to osmanthus, immortelle and violet leaf, and settles into mineral notes, suede and akigalawood. That is the brief Hanymede is working from.
Top
- saffron
- italian mandarin
Heart
- osmanthus
- immortelle
- violet leaf
Base
- mineral notes
- suede
- akigalawood
For the one who smells like nothing else, a metallic saffron, suede and mineral marvel that everyone perceives differently and never forgets.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 7 twins of Marc-Antoine Barrois Ganymede we can price, Hanymede is number 3 on price per 100ml.
