Inspiration: Marc-Antoine Barrois - Ganymede
Couldn't load pickup availability
Ganymede by Marc-Antoine Barrois is the inspiration people will recognize in Imperial by Maison Asrar, particularly through the dry mineral mood, violet-like florals and woody amber base. Lemon and mandarin make Imperial brighter at the top, and cumin and nutmeg give the middle a warmer human skin-like spice. It is a simpler, more floral interpretation of Ganymede's futuristic mineral style.
Top: lily of the valley, lemon, mandarin
Middle: violet, jasmine, cumin, nutmeg
Base: cedarwood, amber, moss
Lemon and mandarin brighten lily of the valley before violet and jasmine give the scent a cool, almost silvery floral texture. Cumin and nutmeg add a warm skin-like flicker, then cedar, amber and moss leave a dry mineral finish that feels clean but deliberately strange.
Imperial wears with a controlled but noticeable citrus-floral presence before the scent turns drier and more mineral. Cedar, amber and moss give it a steady several-hour trail that feels sharper and more structured than sweet.
Imperial fits spring and fall beautifully, especially offices, galleries, daytime events, dinners and smart-casual city plans. The dry mineral woods are firmly unisex, with cumin and moss giving it an austere edge that will appeal most to people who like unusual clean scents.
