A narrative that delves into the enduring impact of skilled artistry combined with mindful living, alongside the scented joy that comes from our sacred earth. How can one resist the charm of a fragrance that not only delights the senses but also respects our ethos? Who doesn’t yearn for a future where our luxuries don’t cost the earth its beauty? These are the pivotal questions driving Marc-Antoine Barrois, a brand that crafts each perfume with a vision of lush, verdant vistas and expansive blue skies, firmly committed to nurturing our planet’s vibrant life.

At the core of this narrative stands a man with a dream. Marc-Antoine Barrois, a couturier who, after years of creating tangible beauty through fabric and form, turned his talents to an intangible art form: Perfumery; a designer who turned to fragrance, as another avenue for his creativity.

This shift from haute couture to the olfactory world wasn’t a departure, but an evolution, a scale-up if you like, a journey toward capturing the ephemeral beauty of nature and distilling it into a scent that speaks to the soul. Barrois’s story is a testament to following one’s heart, of listening to that inner call that whispers of pure scents and untouched landscapes.

So, what does it mean to create with a conscience? And how does one merge the elegance of high fashion with the charm of nature? These questions permeate Barrois’s work, driving him toward a clear mission.

“I’m proud to be part, in my own way, of the world I believe to be a better place.”

Marc-Antoine Barrois

His pledge is to create not only exceptional fragrances but to do so with integrity and respect for the world around us.

Through a symphony of fragrances, Marc-Antoine Barrois has been charting a course across an olfactory universe. Each scent from the house tells a part of their story, from the earthy embrace of B683 to the mythic whispers of Ganymede and the icy allure of Encelade.

A serendipitous partnership between Barrois and Quentin Bisch, a perfumer whose philosophy and skill matched Barrois’s dedication to art and the environment, was more than a meeting of minds.

It was the coming together of kindred spirits on a shared quest to bottle the sublime grace of nature. Their collaborative journey is marked by a brotherhood of purpose and passion; a unified vision to bring to life scents.

Through their scents, and their latest opus, Barrois and Bisch beckon us to reconnect with the earth to remember the summers spent under leafy canopies, the joy of breathing in the fragrance of blooming fields, and the serenity that comes from living in step with the natural world.

Now, this new narrative takes a turn towards a luminous and floral
world with Tilia, a scent that casts light on a world, reimagined through the lens of nature’s own wonders.

Imagine walking through the countryside on a warm summer day, with the scent of Tilia as your guide. Quentin Bisch, a nose akin to an artist, paints the air with this fragrance, inviting you to bask in the radiance of nature’s finest aromas.

Like that first ray of morning sun that promises a day full of simple joys and lasting memories. This elixir captures the heart of summer, an everlasting bloom that stays with you, long after the days have grown short.

Its heart, is very centre, blooms with the scent of the Linden Tree, whose heart-shaped leaves have long been a symbol of love and tenderness. This main note is caressed by the warm, sunny kiss of Broom and the soft, alluring whispers of Heliotrope.

Jasmine Sambac adds a luxurious velvetiness to the mix, while a touch of rooty Vetiver grounds the scent with an earthy base. Its scent is a call to pause and find joy in the simple things, the way sunshine dances on the leaves or how a flower can turn a field into a canvas of colour.

The name Tilia is actually a scientific name by which the Linden tree is commonly known. This tree is celebrated for its enchanting aroma of sweet scent and pleasantly minty honey. Standing robust, the Tilia’s sturdy trunk supports a sprawling network of branches that, each summer, burst into a lush canopy of thick, verdant leaves.

This natural splendour and refreshing vitality are beautifully captured in the essence of the Tilia fragrance, enveloping the wearer in the serene and soothing embrace of nature.

In crafting Tilia, Marc-Antoine Barrois reaffirms a commitment to our world. Each bottle is a promise, a blend free from substances that harm you or the planet. Made with care in France, it is a testament to the brand’s dedication to quality and the environment. The move to swap cellophane for a recyclable seal is just one example of their thoughtful approach to sustainability.

Looking for a new scent? How about one that not only delights the senses but also cares for the environment? Discover Tilia at Marc-Antoine Barrois boutiques and online. Each bottle of this fragrance is a beacon of positivity, embodying the warmth of endless summers and a vision where luxury and virtue walk hand in hand.

This scent is an invitation to embrace vibrant, sunny days and supports the dream of a sustainable future where every note, every scent, and every choice makes a meaningful difference. It inspires a legacy of environmental stewardship and mindful living.
