What wearers say
“Similar to Red temptation, but this one doesn't give me a headache. I usually don't like woody fragrances, but with this one I can go easily. It was a good blind buy. Bought this one 2 days ago so I'll update about longevity, but for now it seems like it lasts about 5 hours.”
“I like it but my partner doesn’t… but I’m still gonna wear it anyway. lolIt shares the same scent profile somewhat similar to BR and Red Temptation, perhaps 40-50% similarity.It’s very unisex so anyone can use it.I’m super curious though, what does Ganymede smell like?”
“Of all the Ganymede clones, this one IMO gets the closest. It still has the same rye bread-y quality that the other ZARA Ganymede clone (Gold Oddity) has, unfortunately. :((Granted, this may just be a reaction with my skin).Both this and Gold Oddity have another problem - they smell MUCH better on paper and from the bottle than they do on skin. In general, I think Deep Temptation came out a little bit more successful. On paper I cannot tell DT and GO apart.Still looking for that budget Ganymede clone...”
