A perfume like a heady sobriety. Ten years after commencing Haute Couture, French couturier, Marc-Antoine Barrois is launching his first perfume: B683. Building on the timeless and charismatic elegance of his mentors, with this perfume he reveals his most beautiful souvenirs as well as his world of contemporary designs. Ultimately, B683 is an invitation to explore…to travel on his planet where bespoke unique pieces collections, jewels and accessories meet a genius symbiosis of poetry and dreams with arts and crafts. Subtly combining refined woody essences, sensual spicy notes and heady smell of leather, avant-garde perfumer Quentin Bisch is signing a perfume both heady and sober modelled on the fantasy universe of the designer.
The notes of this eau de parfum are, at the top : saffron, black pepper, chili and nutmeg, at the heart : violet leaf, musk, cistus absolute, Moheli vanilla tincture and amber ; at the base sandalwood, patchouli, ambroxan and oakmoss.
The fragrances of the Maison MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS are the result of the meeting of two young designers. One is a couturier, the other a perfumer. Their childhood memories brought them together. Remembering captivating smells of the leather from an elegant attaché case or an immaculate desk blotter, of the distinct smells of wood during the regular gatherring, of fuel to warm the family home. The artistic skills of the former and the olfactory talent of the latter together sparked the magic of these beautiful fragrances. The perfumes and candles are made in France

Amidst the radiant depth of Carnation and the excitement of the spices, VENI represents a voyage worthy of the greatest ancient epics and dedicated to all who have a thirst for adventure and the unknown.
