The opening was lovely—green, herby, and with a bit of citrus. But the dry down was a total letdown; it turned into a stale musk and didn't retain any of the beautiful initial notes. It also settled much more male-leaning than a true greenish unisex perfume.
Pros - professional packaging, fast and free shipping, unique and interesting collection of perfumes in their discovery set
Cons - very expensive. You would think for the price, that you would get at least 3 ml of product per bottle but 1 ml seems like they’re cheaping out on you a bit. You usually get these as free samples at Sephora. They could certainly increase the vial sizes to make the customer feel a bit more valued and not taken advantage of
Raphael was a new release I wanted to try because of all the hype in the fragrance community. It’s lovely: soft, musky, feminine and very smooth. On me, it has a slight Naxos resemblance, but gentler, softer and more polished. Beautiful, just not quite dramatic enough for a full bottle.
Bois Imperial feels like Ganymede’s sharper, earthier sibling. It is greener, crisper and more angular. Still distinctive, just with more edge and a better price tag.
As a woman, Ganymede was a slightly unhinged blind buy, but I absolutely loved it. Mineral, metallic, leathery and futuristic, with insane longevity and presence. It smells like an architect from another planet, and somehow I mean that as the highest compliment.
I bought 1969 because I love it, and I specially bought it from Parfum exquis because of their customer service and how quickly they process and ship my order. This is my second time purchasing from their online website and I will continue to get from them. They are great!
Absolutely in love with my Anelo perfume. From the seamless ordering process to the fast shipping, everything was exceptional. The customer service was impeccable, and the thoughtful attention to detail made the entire experience feel truly luxurious and special.
The shipment came through in great time! Unlike some of the other decant places that can take up to a month, Maison Ephyr was quick and easy to buy and receive fragrances.
As for the fragrances themselves, I am SO grateful for shops like Maison Ephyr that provide decants. I decanted, I smelled, I did not like! 🤣

The fig notes came across incredibly realistic and beautifully green. As it dried down, it became creamy, soft, and wonderfully cozy. I really enjoyed it—it captured that fresh, slightly green fig feeling while still feeling warm and comforting. 🤍🌿
Love it man I’m thinking about getting a bottle for it, it’s such a good coffee sweet smell it really smells amazing
This is the clean girl scent for gourmand lovers. The salt is soft and warmed, not rough and overpowering, giving the clean, just showered by i live on the beach vibe. The vanilla is also intimate, not overly sweet or cloying. Mixed with the salt, it invites someone to steal a sniff and maybe even a lick.
All fig and that's what I want. I want fig skin, fig leaf, fig pulp, fig milk and that is what you get. The entire fig. Very photorealistic.
It opens smelling like drying pool water on skin while you lounge on a deck chair. A tough synthetic but the more you wear it, the less synthetic and more aquatic it gets. The dry-down is the best part. It literally melts into your skin as it warms. I think it's the tonka cream. You literally wake up the next morning and you smell like the beach, warm skin and serenity. Full bottle purchase
