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.

For François Hénin, vanilla has always been the absolute weapon of seductive souls. Vanilla is recognized over the world as an irresistible enticement to be devoured.
Evening in Esperanto
This resolutely masculine extract is dedicated to dandyish urban night owls who were just waiting for their signature perfume to
come along. A fragrance so insidery, finding likeminded spirits who wear it becomes almost a game, a knowing nod among members of the same elite club.
Grapefruit, jasmine, musk
Taking on an olfactory family this well known is no mean feat. It’s a testament to Vanina’s originality and creativity that this Ambra is very “Jeroboam”, in other words modern, daring and sensual.
Bergamot, patchouli, musk
Jéroboam invents a purely addictive perfume, in which fruity and spicy notes fuse with an indelible assemblage of precious woods and musks.
During the Roaring Twenties, French Cancan dancers in the celebrated cabarets of Paris had their own very specific perfume rituals. It is said that they perfumed “every hill and valley” — wherever they wanted to be kissed. Hauto (“skin”) is an invitation to experience the fragrance of “skin”.

BOHA
Boha is constructed around a white flowers bouquet that evoke purity. An almost intimidating purity, like a gaze that runs through you with intensity. In his heart, gardenia mixes with jasmine and orange blossom and together burst into a compelling monotonous chant.
The perfume subtle, delicate and both opulent, will move you deeply and is worn like a provocation. Vanina Muracciole allowed herself to some eccentricities while adding to her musky base some ambery and woody note like sandalwood, reinforcing the sensual aura and the indelible sillage.
Almond, jasmine, musk
This new take on Delina is an unprecedented captivating floral creation. The fruity opening notes of pear, lychee and grapefruit provide intrigue. At the heart, a bouquet of rose Damascena paired with incense and vetiver capture the soiree in all its beauty. Set with a subtle base of vanilla, musk and Evernyl, this Parfums de Marly scent is luminous and passionate and uses only the finest ingredients.

Inspiration: A dazzling beam of pearlized light dances on the oceans belly, witnessed by two lovers who watch from a balcony draped in floating white opaque gauze that seems alive, responding to a warm wind that blows. The lovers, high above the world to almost touch the stars, with full hearts and bodies light as air.
Fragrance story: Omnipresent, Moonlight in Heaven sparkles with a citrus-forward opening, driven by a duo of lemon and grapefruit, spiced with pink pepper berry.
