I 100% agree with all you say here. Well described and explained !! I just own Ganymede... and I have a decant of BI, but I prefer Ganymede way more. Not as a signature, cause I have other signature frags.
Hey Tobias , I already knew that you are a big fan of Ganymede 😉 interesting to hear that you enjoy it so much more than bois imperial . What’s your signature now in spring ?
@@50scents_ Yea I like Ganymede more cause of the way I use it and when. I like it for going out and being on stage. It gives me special vibes. Much more than Bois Imperial. Actually I don't find them that much similar... My main signatures at the moment are Dior Homme 2013 and Dior Eau Sauvage 2017 😉 Btw... my SOTD is Bois Imperial. You inspired me to wear it today!
Yes totally agree with you Bois Imperial make you smell amazing and luxurious for a reasonable price . I love the DNA and wish more brands would be that good in value than essential Parfums is 👌
Agree! I have both. They are exactly the same. Bois Imperial is just the eventual dry down of Ganymede. Ganymede has added minerality and suede notes in the top and mid. Pretty much the same in my opinion.
Yes they are quiet close even if I get a lot more metallic Notes in Ganymede and it’s not as easy to wear for me than Bois imperial is . But in general you just smell that they are created by the same Parfumeur and that he’s really skilled with what he does. I just have the feeling you smell that with Bois Imperial he had more freedom to create whatever he likes. Ganymede is a modern masterpiece and one of the few niche fragrances these days that are super unique and influential like creed Aventus was before:)
Bois imperial is insane value. I use a single spray for work and it lasts all day and projects (sometimes too much!). I also bought it at a discount because you can buy the sample set from the brand and then take the price of that off your first purchase. I find it quite different to Ganymede, which I do not like.
Hey Phil, thanks for sharing your thoughts on it . What are other favs from the sample set you liked ? I’m a big fig lover so i want to try the fig infusion. Yeah I agree it’s a monster in projection and longevity and it’s not a inoffensive fragrances even with just one or two sprays everyone is smelling you but like I mentioned in the video , till now I just received positive feedback 👌
Fig Infusion is good, and more masculine than most fig fragrances imo. Excellent longevity also. The new Patchouli Mania is excellent also, I think@@50scents_
For me it’s also a pure love . It’s just such an outstanding unique fragrances that is still super likeable for people around you ❤️ I haven’t tried penhaligons sartorial yet , I have to get my nose on that one because I love fougere fragrances.
I love and have both but I love Ganymede a bit more because of a Basil note in Bois Imperial, which I don’t like much. Ganymede sounds really masculine and expensive, it’s like Baccarat Rouge but for men I would say.
Is there any reformulation? I ordered it for the first time last month, and its not as long lasting and projecting as people say, and my friend who have had 2 bottles now bought 3rd and he said its not that good in terms of performance as the other 2? Or it needs some maceration maybe…
I wouldnt call bois impérial an out of the shower fragrance because it’s so long lasting you’ll be wearing it for until the next shower 😂 It is clean though I agree I love layering bois impérial with Aqua di Parma Colonia (as beautiful as weak)
I just picked up Gynemede for $189 100ml. U said 90 euro for 100ml. I haven't worn it yet. Its was my blindbuy. I love blindbuys. I like surprises. I only have one blindbuy that i regret out of 100 perfumes.
hey , please don't spread fake news in my community . Ganymede is always that expensive. There is a 30ml for 110$. I said Bois Imperial is under 100$ thats it! then tell me if you like it or not when u tried it out
personally I hate Bois Imperial, so before I got my nose on Ganymede i thought I would hate it but i really ended up loving it. I get an added Iso E Super and fruitiness up top that really makes the DNA captivating and incomparable.
I’m with you, I have both Ganymede and bois imperial. I can’t get enough of Ganymede and I don’t like bois imperial at all. I ended up confused as to why people were saying they were so similar

I think Bois Imperial is great value and long lasting. Quentin Bisch is also one of my favorite perfumers. Great video

Hi. What year is your bottle from?
@@Inanimate22 from 2022 I think :)
I bought it in late 2022.@@Inanimate22
Love Bois Imperial ❤ !
Very unique and versatile. Best value for the price for a niche fragrance 💰 with Penhalighons Sartorial (my favorite fougère)
For me it’s also a pure love . It’s just such an outstanding unique fragrances that is still super likeable for people around you ❤️

Říká se, že císařský Bois byl reformován a nyní je slabší.
I have the same problem. The sample i had before was way stronger
I wouldnt call bois impérial an out of the shower fragrance because it’s so long lasting you’ll be wearing it for until the next shower 😂
It is clean though I agree
I love layering bois impérial with Aqua di Parma Colonia (as beautiful as weak)
Bois imperial a 3 months discovery I made, just became my signature scent, love @1rst sight, fresh woodie great silage and great performance 👌

Two King ! But Bois Imperial is my favourite
These are the real kings of mens Fragrances 👌

They remind me of kenzo pour homme edp
Interesting take on it , but I can see why 😉👌
