But who is Marc-Antoine Barrois? Marc-Antoine Barrois, from the north of France, has had a great passion for fashion from a young age. Fashion designer Dominique Sirop quickly noticed his exceptional talent at a young age. After gaining many years of experience at renowned fashion houses like Hermes and Givenchy, he founded his own fashion house in 2009, Maison Marc-Antoine Barrois, where he designs bespoke and ready-to-wear collections that reflect a timeless and refined style.

Later in his fashion career, Marc-Antoine developed a great love for perfumery. In 2015, he met Quentin Bisch, and there was an immediate connection between the two men. A special relationship developed, partly due to their shared interests and many similarities in their youth. In 2016, they launched their first major success together, B683. The name is inspired by the asteroid in "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and the couturier's birthdate, making it his own imaginary planet. The fragrance combines notes of leather, spices, and wood, reflecting the designer’s aesthetic of elegance and refinement.

After the success of B683, Barrois released other fragrances, including Ganymede, which is among the bestsellers at Perfume Lounge. This year, Tilia was added, a fragrance that you might not expect in the rest of the collection. With Tilia, the two took a different direction. A summery, sparkling, and playful perfume full of flowers. Once again, a masterpiece, as Tilia has become a great success in a very short time.
