Niche perfumes are captivating for their ability to impress and surprise us with their unique and original smells. Ganymede is no exception, as this fragrance has become an instant hit since its release in 2019. This woody spicy fragrance possesses an exceptionally well-done suede leather accord with its saffron accents and its silky-smooth violet leaf heart. Chinese osmanthus residing in the base gives the composition a floral and almost peach-like personality that combines so powerfully with the spicy immortelle and the smooth violet. The Cupbearer, is an incredibly faithful Ganymede perfume dupe, designed for those who appreciate luxury but crave a more accessible alternative. The longevity of this Ganymede clone is well above par, and the complexity of the natural ingredients is something to make you fall in love with this particular DNA. Akigala wood offers its unique and rich addition to the formula while hints of mandarin orange cause a bit of sweetness in the opening. The Cupbearer is an accurate representation of the original from 2019, and the accuracy is sure to blow you away. Fans of the original will immediately spot the high accuracy as they continue to enjoy this rich aroma for a fair price that does not even begin to compare to the cost of the original. The Cupbearer is here with your spoils. Will you take the proverbial sip?

It shares the lounge-like warmth of Replica Jazz, while also appealing to those who enjoy Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford or the textural depth found in Le Labo creations. As a Maison Margiela Jazz Club dupe, it feels smoother and more intimate than many louder tobacco perfumes.
This is one of the most confusing, interesting and bizzare scents I've ever smelled. Imagine smelling a handful of gravel, rubber and metal shavings mixed together and having fresh orange juice sprinkled on top....and it somehow working. This is sweet and metallic and earthy and weird AF but it somewhat inviting and definitely one that will get people talking. If you like something a bit daring this is absolutely for you!
Smells like bug spray to my nose and that smell did not dissipate in the dry-down. I love Dua and have many other fragrances from the brand that I love, so this is not a reflection on the overall brand. Just isolated to my experience with this specific one. I have not smelled the original, so can’t comment on how it smells in comparison.
The original is somehow maybe a little sleeker? It's very hard to tell the difference. 10/10 tied for my favorite purchase this year. Citrus, herb, and most importantly this strong salty/mineral je ne sais quoi. Unique, but easy to wear. Compliment getter. Office or personal service safe, but too strong for healthcare. Performance is 10/10 Projection is an arms length +trail, stage 5 clinger. smells the same at distance as it does up close and doesn't degrade over time.
Not a 1 to 1 off initial spray. Drydown definitely gets you closer. I'd say this is closer to Bois Imperial but definitely a good buy. If you want that Ganymede scent and don't want to waste your good bottle this is definitely for you.
I own a decant of Ganymede and to my nose, this is 95% similar but I prefer this to the OG, hands down! There is some kind of sexy, ambery spice that comes forward after macerating for a few months and I find it highly addictive. This leans masculine, but that doesn’t stop me from reaching for it and feeling like a badass rocker chic. Layering it with a vanilla lotion is chef’s kiss. Ordered a backup. Definitely beast mode and man, does it smell expensive.
I had to come back to update the Dua family. Ive loved it from day one, but it has had time to oxidize and WHOA. This fragrance is absolutely stunning in every single way. Words can't really describe it. When I tell you every single time I wear it, people chase me down to ask what I am wearing and wear to buy it. It is truly one of a kind. I have a million Duas +counting (don't we all? lol) and this is my signature scent. Trust me, this is a no brainer.
THIS! I wore this to Walmart, my grandson was with me. We walked past an SUV and I saw absolutely no one and wasn’t looking for anyone. But my grandson said ‘grandpa, some lady is calling you!’ I turned around and she was yelling: ‘What’s that you got on?!’ I told her Ganymede, and she said ‘hold on a minute!’..and her son jumps outta the SUV and said, ‘my mom said right the name of the cologne down on this paper’, I said sure! After I finished writing the name of the fragrance down, she yelled, ‘Thank you!’ from her vehicle. My grandson said..‘that was crazy grandpa, they act like you smelled like ice cream or something!’… I couldn’t stop laughing 😂😂😂😂😂
Top 10 for life !
This is the fragrance you get when you're looking to smell better than everyone. Stunning and Unique. i ordered a pretty big haul of top recommended and highly praised on the comments Duas and this one was my favorite amongst them. I have 100+ Duas in those nail polish racks and they fit 11 sideways so on my main rack i have my all time top 11 favorite Duas and Cupbearer is amongst them. 10/10
Ok ok. This scent is like a train wreck and it's not Duas fault. Ganymede is polarizing. Unlike anything you've smelled before. One guy said it's like what a robots breath would smell like and guess what? I agree.
But this smells like the OG and that's the point right?
Dua makes quality inspirations. Period.
Compliments
I’ve never gotten so many compliments
Every single time I wear it I get a compliment
I layer it with Poseidons Gone Swimming Cologne
And again I have never gotten so many compliments
To be honest I didn’t think it was anything special at first … pretty linear
It’s grown on me
I now have it in every variation
The original is still my favorite
It’s a no brainer dummy grab
As advertised. Sillage for days! Unique yet safe enough to wear as a signature scent. Similar to Boise Imperial but with a slight leathery undertone. Assertive and classy, you now own the room.
SMOOOTH.... SOPHISTICATED!!
Reach out and touch some nostrils with smoothnees. I'm JUST SAYING Buy this... I have pulled two compliments on the second time I wore it. It seems to better the second week.. But I love this Juice right here...

Nothing Short of Amazing
This was a blind buy for me. I wore this on Mothers Day. The fragrance is beyond amazing. My mom loved it. The projection is beastly but not in an offensive way. I sprayed myself at 1pm... 10 am the NEXT day I can still smell myself. My mom called me the next day telling me she could still smell Cupbearer at her house. This is what u get for $60 bucks. You def get your money's worth. It's a unique smell but for SOME reason sometimes during the dry down it reminds me of a smokier cedrat Boise. Great fragrance.
