Mark Antoine Barwa B87.135

There are fragrances that whisper, and there are those that announce – and then there is Marc-Antoine Barrois B87.135, a fragrance that does neither, because it exists in a realm beyond mere communication. This is an extrait that breathes. It is the olfactory equivalent of a cashmere coat brushed against a rain-soaked Brompton Road at dusk: intimate, expensive, and utterly unforgettable.
Released in 2026 as a Harrods exclusive, B87.135 is not a flanker in the conventional sense. It is a reinterpretation – a deepening of the beloved B683 DNA with brighter, more natural ingredients: saffron that glows like amber, tobacco that smolders rather than burns, and an iris butter so creamy it feels like powdered silk. The name itself pays homage to the brand’s new home at 87–135 Brompton Road, a location that has become synonymous with luxury curation.
Perfumer Quentin Bisch, the architect behind the original B683, returns to refine his masterpiece. Where the original was a leather-clad warrior, B87.135 is a diplomat – still formidable, but now wearing a velvet glove. This is a fragrance for those who understand that true power does not need to shout.
