âI just found out they reformulated it! Some one can confirm it, please? I want to cry, I've been using it for two years, it lasted for hours on my skin. I usually buy it in batches during colder seasons to avoid any spoiling. So my last purchase was from febb25. I went on and bought it again only to find out they changed it, I dont' even know when. It just doesn't stick on my skin anymore and all I can smell now is basically pepper and basil! I was so in love with the fragrance and the price as well. Does anybody have any suggestion for something with similar longevity to the older one?â
âNever smelled Ganymede so I can't comment on any similarities but this is a very pleasant, versatile and masculine scent. Fresh, spicy, aromatic, woody but very well balanced. Already received lots of compliments and people saying "WOW what is THAT?" I am gatekeeping this one for sure lol. Very good performance and projection, and the price is decent.â
âSweet grass on sweet green wood. A touch of pepper.Cool and refreshing and light - great for a summers day - like Jacques Fath Green Water minus a strong mint and citrus.Nothing light about the performance though. Very strong despite the nature of the ingredients typical performance and very long lasting and linear.This, from one of my fave âunknownâ brands... another hit behind Divine Vanille and Nice Bergamot - some other products that punch way way way above their price in both quality and construction...â

The clone delivers shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs. 7-8 hours) and a thinner projection overall. The base note development is less complex, with the oud appearing more transparent and the musk slightly more synthetic compared to the original's creamy, well-blended finish.
