Description
B683 EXTRAIT by MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS takes the original B683's woody-leathery core and intensifies it, creating a deeper, more carnal experience. It opens with a vibrant burst of spices and a distinctive green apple accord, which adds a juicy freshness to the rich composition. As it develops, the scent reveals a powerful 'patchouli leather' signature, enhanced by the warmth of oud and the green nuances of violet leaf. The dry down settles into a velvety, animalic warmth, with creamy sandalwood and sweet vanilla providing a comforting depth that lingers beautifully on the skin. This is a scent that feels both raw and incredibly refined, perfect for those who appreciate a sophisticated leather with a modern twist. Perfumer: Quentin Bisch
