What wearers say

“I don’t know how people are saying this has 10/10 sillage and longevity? Or are all of you have the pre-reformulated version? Every Ganymede i tried in the last year or 2 has an average performance. This used to have incredible longevity/sillage, nowadays all the batches are watered down version of the OG, even the S batch.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“New batches are total joke. It's not the same gany I got some years ago... disappointed It's nothing alike older batches, poor longevity, and smell itself has totally felt differences as I own still some drops of OG from 21.REFORMULATED IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY. At this point is better to go with gany clones/dupes.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“I got 10ml decant in the Harrods advent calendarAnd tried it on my handIt’s beautiful and unique however doesn’t perform well but didn’t judge the performance from my decant because everyone said it has a great performance.I bought a bottleSame issue no performance just 3 to 4 hours longevity with no projection after the first 2 hours.I don’t know maybe due to its composition I’m not able to smell it ? Has it been reformulated ? The batch I got goes back to July 2024.Is it just me or is this perfume tricky ?”
