Ten years after starting out in haute couture, French fashion designer Marc-Antoine Barrois launches his first perfume. Building on the timeless and charismatic elegance of his mentors, he unveils with his perfume the most beautiful souvenir as well as his world of modern design. B683 is the ultimate invitation to discover... to travel to his planet, where bespoke unique pieces, collections, jewellery and accessories meet an ingenious symbiosis of poetry, dreams, art and craftsmanship. Fine woody essences, sensual spicy notes and the intoxicating scent of leather have been skilfully combined. Avant-garde perfumer Quentin Bisch has created a fragrance that is both intoxicating and sober, modelled on the designer's fantastic universe.
B683 is the result of the meeting of two young designers. One is a fashion designer, the other a perfumer. Their childhood memories brought them together. They remembered captivating odours; the leather of an elegant briefcase or a flawless writing pad; the special smell of wood that would warm the family home. The craftsmanship of the one and the fragrance talent of the other created an enchanting and pleasant scent with its notes of spices, leather and wood.
The main note is spicy and consists of:
Black pepper, saffron, chilli, nutmeg
The heart of the perfume is like precious leather or suede and consists of:
Violet leaves, ambergris, labdanum (cistus), musk
The base note is warm and woody and consists of
Patchouli, sandalwood, oakmoss, ambroxan
‘I like the rough yet chic aspect of the perfume: a very fine and wild fragrance.’ - Quentin Bisch, perfumer
