Marc-Antoine Barrois B87.135 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026, created by Quentin Bisch. B87.135 opens with Pink Pepper, Ambrette, and Myrrh, settles into a heart of Leather, Rose, Iris, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Georgywood, Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Marc-Antoine Barrois's B87.135 carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive, with some hailing it as a masterpiece and others finding it "nothing special". It's a polarising take on a familiar leather-saffron theme, so don't blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold and projecting nature, driven by strong leather and warm spicy accords, makes it less suitable for a quiet office environment. However, these same qualities make it an excellent choice for dates and formal events, commanding attention without being overwhelming. It's a bit much for casual wear, and most definitely not for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a sophisticated, buttery iris alongside a spiced saffron and a touch of sweet rose, brightened by pink pepper. The heart deepens with rich, dry tobacco and earthy vetiver, underpinned by the woody musk of Georgywood. The base settles into a long-lasting, resinous, leathery embrace with soft patchouli and the unique warmth of ambrette and myrrh.
