Marc-Antoine Barrois - B683

Ten years after embarking on his career in haute couture, French fashion designer Marc-Antoine Barrois launches his first perfume. Building upon the timeless and charismatic elegance of his mentors, B683 unveils not only the most beautiful souvenir but also his world of modern design. It is the ultimate invitation to discover… to journey to his planet, where bespoke, one-of-a-kind pieces, collections, jewelry, and accessories meet in an ingenious symbiosis of poetry, dreams, art, and craftsmanship. Refined, delicate woody essences, sensual spice notes, and the intoxicating scent of leather are expertly blended. Avant-garde perfumer Quentin Bisch has created a fragrance that is both intoxicating and sophisticated, sculpted from the designer's fantastical universe.

B683 is the result of a collaboration between two young designers. One is a fashion designer, the other a perfumer. Their childhood memories brought them together. They recalled captivating scents: the leather of an elegant briefcase or a pristine writing pad; the distinctive aroma of wood that warmed the family home. The artistry of one and the olfactory talent of the other combined to create an enchanting and pleasing fragrance with notes of spice, leather, and wood.

The main note is spicy and consists of:
Black pepper, saffron, chili, nutmeg
The heart of the perfume is like precious leather or suede and consists of:
Violet leaves, ambergris, labdanum (rockrose), musk
The base note is warm and woody and consists of:
Patchouli, sandalwood, oakmoss, ambroxan

“I like the raw yet chic aspect of the perfume: a very refined and wild scent.” – Quentin Bisch, Perfumer
