Maison Alhambra
Minérale
Minérale may appeal for the saffron, osmanthus and suede associated with Ganymede EDP. Its listed opening puts violet and warm spices ahead of mandarin. Amber and moss suggest a warmer finish than Ganymede's airy mineral woods, though the degree of resemblance remains uncertain.

Performance notes and sources
Ganymede
Accounts range from short wear to approximately 8–10 hours, with several reports around eight hours. The 6–9 hour band is a conservative editorial estimate, not a universal result. Editorial estimate from retrieved accounts; reports vary and no representative consensus was measured. Earlier assessment: Strong diffusion supported by several accounts; explicit six-hour account and unspecific all-day claims do not establish a stable hour band. Editorial estimate from retrieved wearer accounts, not a measured consensus. Performance varies by skin, application and version. Accord ratings were not reassessed.
