Ganymede Eau de Parfum

eau de parfum

The scent of a dreamlike reality

B683 and Ganymede. Two enigmatic words, two names of perfumes that open to imaginary worlds. In a few letters that turned into scented paths, the two fragments of the universe recounted the inspirations and aspirations of two creative minds, perfumer Quentin Bisch and couturier Marc-Antoine Barrois.

B683, the first perfume of Maison MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS launched in 2016, was an invitation to discover the creative universe of the French couturier and his imaginary planet. The authentic elegance was marked with souvenirs such as the sweet and intense leather of a beautiful briefcase and a desk pad marked by the patina of time, or the warm and woody smell of welcoming homes and family walks in nature.

For this new body of work, the destination is elsewhere. The two fellow artists have created an elegant and unexpected harmony around a quartet of tangerine, violet, immortelle and suede, dreaming of this new planet: Ganymede, the rocky satellite of Jupiter discovered by Galileo in 1610, is both luminous and covered with salt. Water Oceans. It got its name from Greek mythology: a young man, Ganymede, was kidnapped by gods who were so fascinated by his beauty that he was offered immortality.
