orn from the saddle leather of a wild creature
Trailing its powerful fragrance as it passes
Stallion of light with fabulous strength
Created by a god from long ago
Whose power gives glory to his faithful
Exalted adornment like no other
Born from a weightless dream of imaginary flight
Enchanted vehicle of a solar journey
Aerial magic with breathtaking maneuvers
Sensational fragrances that make you dizzy
Golden oriental carpet caressed by the sky
In never-ending waves silken and sensual
Sancti is symbol of light. A healthy relic, it is sacred protection. A divine dew that illuminates with its purity.
Perfumer : Sonia Constant (Givaudan)
Fortis is the black ink of the literati painting. A fragrant shadow which fortifies the body. Its magic conjures dark thoughts.
Perfumer : Sonia Constant (Givaudan)
Tumultu is carnal. It loves skin and invites nudity. A disturbing vapour that invites abandon.
Perfumer : Jacques Huclier (Givaudan)
Dom Rosa is romantic. Intoxication of festive pleasures. Bubbly, sensitive character. Sometimes a victim of love.
Perfumer : Sonia Constant (Givaudan)
Ile Pourpre derives from the imagination. It takes you on a stationary journey to new scents. Succumb to its fresh and carnal sensuality.

– Eau Imaginaire –
Fleuve Tendre is the encounter of lovers. An intoxicating and intimate combination of feminine and masculine. At the end of the road, the bodies come together again.

The perfume of an oneiric reality For this new opus, the duo has not changed, nor the creative osmosis between Marc-Antoine Barrois and Quentin Bisch, but the destination is elsewhere. Creating an elegant and unexpected harmony around a quartet of mandarin, violet, immortelle and suede, the two fellow artists have dreamt of this new planet: Ganymede, the rocky satellite of Jupiter discovered in 1610 by Galileo, is both luminous and covered with salt-water oceans. It acquired its name from Greek mythology: a young man, Ganymede, was kidnapped by gods who had been so enthralled by his beauty that he was offered immortality.
Composed by perfumer Quentin Bisch, Ganymede once again makes use of the suede-leathery notes that had made B683 a beautiful classic. This time though, the artists emancipated from traditional codes to take us somewhere else, towards aluminous and fluid elegance. Those leather notes become softer, gaining lightness and gentleness in contact with the fragrance of violet. The mandarin smell brings its full vivacity and its acidic essence. The latter gives the tone and verticality of the fragrance from the very start. Yet opposing it, the immortelle is its counterpoint and raises the scented harmony with its double-sided fragrance, at times mineral, at other times salty. The entire composition plays with contrasts and oppositions.
The notes answer one another in a permanent conversation drawing a new olfactory map on the skin, on the revers of a cashmere jacket, or even right there, next to the buttons of the sleeves, on the wrist. If it could be summed up into one single image, it would be a compass : north for the zested liveliness of the mandarin to which the south would answer with the everlasting flower and to highlight this olfactory frame, the density of suede notes on the west would balance the subtle and delicate florality of the violet on the east. Those are four directions for a perfumed journey to a new imaginary world and new codes of elegance. The notes of this eau de parfum are, at the top : Mandarina from Italy essence heart Orpur, safran ; at the heart : violet, Chinese osmanthus absolute Orpur ; at the base Akigalawood and Immortelle absolute.
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 gather-ring 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.
An olfactive portrayal of the 1920s bohemian culture, this woody and leather fragrance exudes an air of exquisite audacity.

An olfactive portrayal of the 1920s cultural liberation, this floral fragrance is poised with a playful refinement.

VAST. UNTETHERED. DRIVEN.
Freedom comes from within, the desert heart of the west wrapped in leather. It moves forward, untethered, through the still air of wide-open space. Dust on wind, skin on skin, Ombré Leather reveals itself like a landscape in layers, where stretches of rock transform into sunrise blonde low on the horizon.

Reminiscent of decadent escapes to tropical shores, Oud Orange is a gourmand creation, as sensual as the sun’s warming touch on the skin. A delicious fruity coconut prelude invites the purity of vanilla bourbon to unite, combining effortlessly with the intensity of musk and a discrete yet discernible trace of natural Oud. Warm and enduring, this intoxicating, sweet perfume languishes like bronzed torsos on resplendent white sands.
Encapsulating the timeless style and grace of haute couture, Heritage is a luxurious jasmine perfume of remarkable depth and projection. A delicate but defiant powdery vintage floral with a crisp, fresh opening of bergamot that leans into the majesty of transcendental frankincense. Comforting warmth is derived from quintessential cedarwood and balsamic sandalwood, while creamy vanilla and a touch of natural Oud create an enduring halo of sophistication and poise.
