i feel so betrayed when a product i use changes without any indication. can we as a society just decide that’s unacceptable? it makes you feel crazy. print the version number on the side of the box, it’s not that hard! reeee

extremely correct take, learn some git from software engineers!

You did what I could not! I remember seeing that tweet as well and even went so far as to search for Ganymede. But with poor olfactory sensibilities I couldn’t bear to buy any liquid priced at $16k/gallon. Alas, this post makes me curious yet again. Where does one go to smell these things in the Bay Area, I wonder?

I'd recommend against buying it by the gallon! There is a real possibility that it's more than you need.

Ganymede seems to be a hit. My strategy would be to search for perfume store on google maps then check their website to see if they stock it. I'd personally pick a shop specializing in perfume rather than e. g. a general cosmetics store. I tested my strategy and one of the first results were ZGO Perfumery in San Francisco, and they do stock it: https://www.zgoperfumery.com/marc-antoine-barrois-ganymede-eau-de-parfum/

So, the strategy looks viable!

Thanks! And I just checked and Lysergic Acid Diethylamide looks like it costs $375k/gallon so...I guess Ganymede isn’t the most expensive liquid 😂
