B683 by Marc-Antoine Barrois is a refined, high-quality, modern and elegant fragrance. Crafted by avant-garde perfumer Quentin Bisch, this intoxicating scent combines refined woody essences, sensual spicy notes, and leather.
At the top, saffron, black pepper, chili, and nutmeg create a stunning opening. 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 result of the meeting of two young designers: One is a couturier (Marc-Antoine Barrois), the other a perfumer (Quentin Bisch). Recalling their childhood enchanting memories on scents: the leather of an elegant attaché case or a spotless leather desk coaster, the pronounced scents of wood during the recurring gathering of wood to heat the parental home. The artistic skills of the first and the olfactory talent of the latter have resulted in a magical and pleasant scent with notes of spices, leather and wood.
“I like the raw and yet so chic aspect of the perfume: a very refined and wild fragrance.” - Quentin Bisch, the perfumer
The name B683 refers to the perfumer's birth date and to the asteroid B612. Le Petit Prince (from the poetic French story), lived on this asteroid.

More than ten years ago, Marc-Antoine Barrois started with an haute couture fashion brand, where eye for detail, timeless elegance, and charisma are most important. But what is haute couture without haute parfumerie? To translate this special brand to a perfume Marc-Antoine found the olfactory talent of another young designer. He paired up with perfumer Quentin Bisch and together they created B683 and Ganymede. Soon B683 extrait, Encelade and Ganymede extrait followed, and are conquering the hearts of fragrance lovers worldwide.
