The review

The Cupbearer scores 5.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Ganymede.

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.

Evidence7.0

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

Marc-Antoine Barrois Ganymede is saffron and italian mandarin at first, osmanthus, immortelle and violet leaf at its heart and mineral notes, suede and akigalawood at the end. Alexandria Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

For the one who smells like nothing else, a metallic saffron, suede and mineral marvel that everyone perceives differently and never forgets.
