In 2016, Marc-Antoine Barrois launched his first perfume: B683. This high-quality, modern and elegant perfume, from perfumer Quentin Bisch, combines refined woody notes, sensual spicy notes and leather for a unique composition.
The opening of B683 brings together saffron, black pepper, chili and nutmeg. The heart reveals violet leaf, musk, cistus absolute, Moheli vanilla tincture and amber. Finally, the base notes of sandalwood, patchouli, ambroxan and oakmoss leave a lasting impression.
B683 is the first result of the meeting of two young designers: one is a couturier (Marc-Antoine Barrois), the other a perfumer (Quentin Bisch). They recall enchanting childhood memories from various smells: the leather of an elegant attaché case or a spotless leather desk coaster, the distinct smells of wood during the recurring gathering of wood to heat the parental home. The artistic skills of the former and the olfactory talent of the latter have resulted in a magical and pleasant scent with notes of spices, leather and wood.
The name B683 refers to the perfumer's birthday and to the asteroid B612. Le Petit Prince (from the poetic French story of the same name), lived on this planetoid.

Leather
Discover the multiple facets of leather in perfumes. Think of the smell of a leather jacket, a pair of suede shoes, the inside of a leather bag, or an old Chesterfield… Leather gives a luxurious, seductive and elegant touch to the fragrance. But it is also dark, robust and slightly animalic which makes this smell mysteriously tantalizing.
