This is a perfume composed exclusively of natural essences and inspired by the universal principle of Yin.
The lunar strength of Davana and Ylang-Ylang takes root in the balmy depths of Labdanum and Opoponax.
Lunar and luscious, a velvety, amber perfume that is profoundly carnal.
This is the perfume of Yin.
Mix & Match
Like Yin & Yang, 1/.4 and 1/.5 are interdependent, mutually enhancing one another. Each one brings richness in its own right, and while one unveils Nature’s brute strength, the other unfurls a powerful ethereal and creative energy.
All together they form an olfactive synergy, a circulation of a breath which connects natural to synthetic raws in a delicate and full fragrance, subtle and deep at the same time.
Joyous, sparkling and spontaneous. This irresistible and delicious fragrance is a blend of velvety fruits and pastel flowers, with a sprinkle of vanilla and wood. Cassili is a truly original scent with a radiant sillage designed as a manifesto for new generations of aesthetes. The notorious plum note shapes and refines the eau de parfum, it is anti-conformist, indulgent and lively while at the same time subtle, elegant and classic.
Born from the whim of a whipping desert wind
Buried treasure laid bare by a hot scented breeze
Salty crystal petals baptized with dew
Liquid spark with delicately spicy hints
Its unique perfume is equaled only by its rarity
Queen of the dunes forever nourished by its boldness
orn from the saddle leather of a wild creature
Trailing its powerful fragrance as it passes
Stallion of light with fabulous strength
Created by a god from long ago
Whose power gives glory to his faithful
Exalted adornment like no other
Born from a weightless dream of imaginary flight
Enchanted vehicle of a solar journey
Aerial magic with breathtaking maneuvers
Sensational fragrances that make you dizzy
Golden oriental carpet caressed by the sky
In never-ending waves silken and sensual
Sancti is symbol of light. A healthy relic, it is sacred protection. A divine dew that illuminates with its purity.

Fortis is the black ink of the literati painting. A fragrant shadow which fortifies the body. Its magic conjures dark thoughts.

Ile Pourpre derives from the imagination. It takes you on a stationary journey to new scents. Succumb to its fresh and carnal sensuality.

The perfume of an oneiric reality For this new opus, the duo has not changed, nor the creative osmosis between Marc-Antoine Barrois and Quentin Bisch, but the destination is elsewhere. Creating an elegant and unexpected harmony around a quartet of mandarin, violet, immortelle and suede, the two fellow artists have dreamt of this new planet: Ganymede, the rocky satellite of Jupiter discovered in 1610 by Galileo, is both luminous and covered with salt-water oceans. It acquired its name from Greek mythology: a young man, Ganymede, was kidnapped by gods who had been so enthralled by his beauty that he was offered immortality.
Composed by perfumer Quentin Bisch, Ganymede once again makes use of the suede-leathery notes that had made B683 a beautiful classic. This time though, the artists emancipated from traditional codes to take us somewhere else, towards aluminous and fluid elegance. Those leather notes become softer, gaining lightness and gentleness in contact with the fragrance of violet. The mandarin smell brings its full vivacity and its acidic essence. The latter gives the tone and verticality of the fragrance from the very start. Yet opposing it, the immortelle is its counterpoint and raises the scented harmony with its double-sided fragrance, at times mineral, at other times salty. The entire composition plays with contrasts and oppositions.
The notes answer one another in a permanent conversation drawing a new olfactory map on the skin, on the revers of a cashmere jacket, or even right there, next to the buttons of the sleeves, on the wrist. If it could be summed up into one single image, it would be a compass : north for the zested liveliness of the mandarin to which the south would answer with the everlasting flower and to highlight this olfactory frame, the density of suede notes on the west would balance the subtle and delicate florality of the violet on the east. Those are four directions for a perfumed journey to a new imaginary world and new codes of elegance. The notes of this eau de parfum are, at the top : Mandarina from Italy essence heart Orpur, safran ; at the heart : violet, Chinese osmanthus absolute Orpur ; at the base Akigalawood and Immortelle absolute.
The fragrances of the Maison MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS are the result of the meeting of two young designers. One is a couturier, the other a perfumer. Their childhood memories brought them together. Remembering captivating smells; of the leather from an elegant attaché case or an immaculate desk blotter; of the distinct smells of wood during the regular gather-ring of fuel to warm the family home. The artistic skills of the former and the olfactory talent of the latter together sparked the magic of these beautiful fragrances. The perfumes and candles are made in France.

The Scoop
The concept of “sacred geometry, ” the inspiration behind Oud For Greatness, is that recurring symbols and motifs- including the sacred scent of oud- are so powerful and holy that they are imbued with these hidden connections to the world at large, transcending the material plane to align those who smell it with the vibrations of the universe. In other words, experiencing the true scent of oud is a tonic for physical, emotional, and spiritual health. With Oud For Greatness, Initio taps into that hidden source of power, delivering a vibrant, sensual, richly spicy fragrance deeply imbued with oud from beginning to end. It’s a highly concentrated blend of pure, natural agarwood oil and natural oud wood, a rich accord that melds the dark, spicy, sweet, and smoky characteristics of this precious substance into an impossibly complex elixir, both energetic and contemplative, narcotic and seductive. An additional burst of savory spice comes by way of a rich blend of saffron and nutmeg, while bright lavender pushes it towards the sexy and masculine- though make no mistake, this scent is devastatingly sexy on men and women alike. While it might seem inexact to say that a fragrance offers something for everyone, we don’t know how else to describe Oud For Greatness- we suppose a perfume this in tune with the hidden patterns of the world ought to smell this downright incredible.
