The review
Purple Bliss scores 6.5 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Ganymede.
Auraa Desire 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 $64 per 100ml it costs 79% less than Ganymede — the 5th cheapest of 8 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Auraa Desire 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. Auraa Desire set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
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.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
