Simple. Sunny. Smiling. Tilia is the scent of a summer that never ends. The scent of holidays that go on forever. Long lunches with friends, in the countryside, at a large wooden table. Flowers that never stop blooming.
Tilia is the first in a line of floral fragrances. For its creator Marc-Antoine Barrois and his long-time creative partner, perfumer Quentin Bisch, it is also the name of an imaginary star. The star that watches over happy days. An ode to simplicity and optimism.
The delicate green, the pollen and the honey of the linden blossom with its beautiful heart-shaped leaves, the Celtic symbol of gentleness and lightness. Added to this are the honeyed apricot accents of broom. The powdery tenderness of heliotrope. A dreamy bouquet, enriched with a velvety note of jasmine.
The scent of happy days, like the dream of sunny holidays that last forever.
Marc-Antoine Barrois
Marc-Antoine Barrois is a French fashion designer. He comes from northern France, from a family that had made a name for itself in the textile industry. From an early age, he was fascinated by his grandfather's elegance, which led him to strive for the art of simple luxury, without ostentation, but certainly with finesse. After learning everything about patterns, cutting and sewing through his studies in textile technology, he designed his first collection in Lille in 2006. His success led Marc-Antoine Barrois to collaborate with Dominique Sirop, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Jean-Claude Jitrois before opening his own men's couture house. He offered gentlemen all that ladies already had in haute couture. Marc-Antoine Barrois designs unique suits, tuxedos and jackets for clients seeking exclusivity.
The first Marc-Antoine Barrois boutique opened in 2013 on Rue de Budapest in Paris, offering jewellery collections and accessories made in Paris alongside bespoke clothing. At the heart of the creative process, he defines his world as a new constellation that brings handmade luxury to a place where service and warmth prevail.
