Calm concealed in grace

The kabuki actor the ultimate male performer of female roles, devoted himself completely to depicting the true form of women. Possessed of an illusory grace and calmness, he brilliantly depicted the beauty of women in a way that transcended gender. World-renowned novelist Yukio Mishima praised his beauty, and together they created works that will remain forever in history. Even after becoming a star, he never became proud, and treated people extremely gently and politely while quietly handling himself. This earned much respect as a man of character. Having lived his life on the stage, devoted to an image of beauty transcending that of gender, he finally passed away on an illusory day very much befitting the life he had led; with the spring cherry blossom in the full bloom in the garden amid a powdered scattering of unseasonable snow.

NOTE: JAPONISM INCENCE WOODY
The countlessly blooming graceful cherry blossom and the calm, regulated dance of unseasonal powdered snow.
The smooth, pure and sparkling white sandalwood brings an even more elegant fragrance to the turmeric (ukon) cherry tree flowers, providing a deeper mellowness.
An illusory fragrance, like unseasonal snow dancing on a spring day.

The first fragrance release of French couturier, Marc-Antoine Barrois is a luxurious combination of refined woody essences, sensual spicy notes and the heady smell of leather.  Avant-garde perfumer Quentin Bisch is signing a perfume both heady and sober modeled on the fantasy universe of the designer.

B683 is a 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 gathering of fuel to warm the family home. The artistic skills of the former and the olfactory talent of the latter together sparked a magical and pleasant fragrance with its notes of spices, leather and wood.

• Top Notes: Black pepper, saffron, chili, nutmeg
• Middle Notes: Violet leaf, amber, cistus absolute, musk
• Base Notes: Patchouli, sandalwood, oak moss, ambroxan

Shadow figures blanketed only by the darkness of night.  The hours felt infinite while he vowed to keep the sun from rising.  I belonged to you and you were all mine if only for the moments of this ecstatic dream.  As the moon shone upon your skin like marble, all the stars looked on with envy.  We were as one, therein the pitch blackness of nightfall.

Notes of Bulgarian rose, leather and smoke

Perfumer: Carlos Benaîm

A sweet, sexy and delicious fragrance.  

The intense, green, lactonic quality of fig is built with top notes of bitter grapefruit, bergamot and geranium woven with the voluptuous heart chord of Damascena rose and black currant.   Blackberry takes you to the addictive base note of this delicious all-natural Eau de Parfum.

The scent of Heretic's Poltergeist was inspired by the fragrant memories from the founders time in the Pacific Northwest where the aroma of smoke of scorched leaves and timber linger in the air. Long walks through the woods permeated by the unmistakable scent of moss, pine needles, mushrooms and leaves emanating from the forest floor. 

A smoky, woody and green scent with wormwood, pine, geranium, birch tar, oak moss and myrrh.

It all started with Banana... Extravagance, exuberance, imagination and champagne: Les Folies Bergères in the 70s, the famous Parisian cabaret.

No expense was spared for a costume to one of their balls, and no detail forgotten, especially not the scent.

It was for a Banana costume to this very ball that the avid plant collector and chemist Jean Laporte created his first nature-inspired fragrance. This Banana scent sparked a passion, and a desire to bring the fragrance industry back to a pre-industrial state, where each ingredient is respected, identifiable and valued.

And so, with this mission in mind, L’Artisan Parfumeur, the craftsman of fragrances, was born. Today, with the help of Perfumer Céline Ellena, the brand re-imagines the never commercialised fragrance that started its story...
