A super perfume for fall and winter, it’s an absolutely unisex scent. This wasn’t a blind buy. Quentin Bish’s perfumes have something luxurious about their sound.

Amazing scent, I’m buying it not for the first time. Very luxurious, rich in notes. Super. I’ll definitely come back again

A bit of a disappointment for me. The longevity is alright, but the silage is quite weak. I expected Ganymede’s strength from this

B683 feels like a refined evolution of Ganymede. It shares a similar mineral–leathery DNA, but here everything is quieter and more mature. Where Ganymede projects loudly and announces itself to everyone around, B683 stays closer to the skin and feels more intimate.
I personally prefer B683—it’s a fragrance I wear for myself. It doesn’t shout, but it lasts just as long, if not longer, rewarding the wearer rather than the crowd.
