Marc-Antoine Barrois - Tilia
Simple. Sunny. Smiling. Tilia is the scent of a summer that lasts forever. A scent of holidays that go on and on. Long lunches with friends, in the countryside, around a large wooden table. Flowers that never stop blooming.
Tilia is the first in a series 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—a star that watches over happy days. An ode to simplicity and optimism.
The delicate green, pollen, and honey of the linden blossom with its beautiful heart-shaped leaves, the Celtic symbol of gentleness and lightness. Add to that the honeyed apricot notes of the broom. The powdery softness of the 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 hails from northern France, from a family renowned in the textile industry. From a young age, he was captivated by his grandfather's elegance, which inspired him to strive for the art of understated luxury—unassuming, but certainly refined. After studying textile engineering, where he learned everything about pattern making, cutting, and sewing, he designed his first collection in Lille in 2006. His success led to collaborations with Dominique Sirop, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and Jean-Claude Jitrois, before he opened his own menswear house. He offered men everything that women already enjoyed 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 Paris-made jewelry collections and accessories alongside bespoke clothing. At the heart of his creative process, he defines his world as a new constellation that brings handcrafted luxury to a place where service and warmth prevail.
