between Fashion and Perfumery
In 2009, the men's Haute-Couture House "MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS" was born. Its creator, Marc-Antoine Barrois, decided to combine creativity, elegance and refinement in made-to-measure creations, entirely designed by hand, in his first Parisian workshop in the 9th arrondissement.
Marc-Antoine Barrois' creative process has always been very personal. In his showroom, he takes the time to get to know his customers, "it's by listening to their story that I better understand their desires". This is followed by the drawing of exclusive sketches, the taking of measurements, the choice of materials and colours, before the tailor goes into action to make the pattern and the traditional assembly.
Once the garment is finished, the designer's signature is placed on it, like the signature of a unique work.
This same rigour will be used by Marc-Antoine Barrois to create his first perfumes 5 years later. A demand for excellence passed on by his grandfather, from a very young age.
Following his meeting with perfumer Quentin Bisch in 2015, Marc-Antoine Barrois did the opposite exercise of giving himself up to his new accomplice who listened to him. The two worlds of Couture and Perfumery are intimately linked. From this discovery of each other, a true creative osmosis was born around the same dreamlike and poetic universe, the same desire to create beautiful perfumes, unique and elegant as well as responsible and respectful of the environment.
The choice of materials is just as important in the creation of fashion pieces as it is in the elaboration of perfume. It is necessary to take the time to look for and find the right materials, the right balance to achieve a refined juice in the image of the maison MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS.
A work, and a ceaseless re-work, where the mutual trust between Marc-Antoine Barrois and Quentin Bisch is the secret ingredient of their creations.
