B683

Created in 2016 by perfumer Quentin Bisch, B683 (a nod to B 612, the asteroid in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince ) is the first perfume from Maison Marc-Antoine Barrois. This breakout signature scent blends black pepper, chili, and saffron with delicate leather enhanced by violet leaf, and it gradually evolves toward woody notes of sandalwood and patchouli. B683 is a fitting invitation into Marc-Antoine’s universe—elegant and refined, yet delightfully whimsical. From Marc-Antoine Barrois This fragrance, which takes its name from both the planet of The Little Prince (Asteroid B-612) and Marc-Antoine Barrois' date of birth, is all about sprezzatura - the art of nonchalance that marks the effortless elegance of the true dandy ... Because the heady smell of leather composed by Quentin Bisch during his first collaboration with the designer doesn’t wear pretense. Softly grained with spices - cold black pepper, warm chili, and nutmeg colored with saffron, refreshed with violet leaf - B683 evokes a gorgeous modern leather scent. It's the kind of leather you'd put on like a three-piece suit with an impeccable fit that you treasure or a perfect attaché case. Everything about it is just right; it follows movements without ever getting in the way, asserting itself without imposing, in the breadth of a subtle scent trail. B683, a contemporary classic.
