With this reinterpretation, the two creators of the brand immerse us in the sensual character of B683, in the heart of this perfume and in its signature: the warmth and depth of a woody-leathery accord. Here it gains further intensity to become an authentic patchouli-leather fragrance. Around this duo, other notes in the composition enhance the various facets of this theme with delicate sensuality. Pepper and cumin offer the vibrancy of their spicy accents, the oudwood reinforces the density of the earlier accord, while the vanilla brightens it with its flattering roundness. On the skin, B683 Extrait marries with the person wearing it as a double that emphasises its presence.
The top note is spicy and liqueur-like with pink pepper essence, cumin and green apple. The heart note is extremely animalistic and leathery. It consists of safraleine, violet leaf and natural oud from Laos (ethically sourced). The base is warm and woody and concentrates the scent of patchouli from Indonesia, sandalwood from Australia and vanilla.
The fragrances of 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. They remembered enchanting smells; the leather of an elegant briefcase or an immaculate desk pad; the distinct odour of wood during regular get-togethers or the fuel used to heat the house. The artistic skills of one and the olfactory talent of the other combined to create the magic of these beautiful fragrances.
