Marc-Antoine Barrois introduces a new collection of sculptural soap bars, born from the precious childhood memories of the designer. This elegant collection faithfully captures the identity of the Maison's five iconic fragrances: B683, Ganymede, Encelade, Tilia, and Aldebaran. It offers the perfect, natural cross-sell to your favorite perfume to enjoy your favorite fragrance even longer.
Each soap is made in France using a traditional hot saponification process. With over 99.5% natural origin ingredients, the bars are entirely free from preservatives, antioxidants, and bleaching agents (meaning the bar's color will naturally and beautifully mature over time). Formulated without palm oil; the sodium palmitate is entirely derived from high-quality olive oil. On the skin, it delivers a rich, creamy lather that rinses easily and is exceptionally gentle on the skin without drying it out, leaving a long-lasting fragrance trail.
Ganymede soap
This soap faithfully captures the luminous accord of Ganymede: a radiant mandarin, velvety osmanthus, and delicate leather infused with a mineral breeze. Its airy lather leaves a clean, fresh, and sunny sensation.
About the scent Ganymede
Young yet already a staple of contemporary niche perfumery, Ganymede is a magnificent fragrance that plays with contrasts to become the signature of a new fresh and mineral elegance. Transitioning from mandarin notes to the spicy and slightly salty notes of immortelle, it enhances a mineral leather, almost metallic... An ocean of salty water swept by the winds, a mythical aesthetic.
"For my mother, scented soap bars represented a true luxury. She used them sparingly, reserving them exclusively for her face. I turned her boxes into a treasure and their fragrances into a cherished memory." – Marc-Antoine Barrois
Quentin Bisch
At already a very young age Quentin Bisch knew he wanted a creative profession. It brought him to music, theatre and performance, but it was perfumery in which he found his true calling. He created fragrances for Jean Paul Gaultier, Paco Rabanne, Saint Laurent, Azzaro, Mugler, Chloe, Ex Nihilo, Etat Libre d’Orange… And he was rewarded best perfumer in 2020! His close collaboration with Marc-Antoine Barrois resulted in three beautifully elegant and timeless fragrances for the Marc-Antoine Barrois label: haute couture meets haute parfums!
