At the CEW France ceremony, Marc-Antoine Barrois received the Creator Award, a distinction that highlights his path as an artist entrepreneur and his successful move into haute perfumery. The award celebrates a creator who has chosen to follow his own intuition, building a coherent universe at the crossroads of couture, design, and fragrance.

“I have simply tried to create what I love, rather than what I thought was expected of me.”

The strength of his work lies in this belief: staying true to his instincts, emotions, and the stories he wants to tell, instead of chasing trends or market expectations. Each fragrance becomes a personal story translated into scent.

Marc-Antoine Barrois dedicated this Creator Award to the people who stand by his side. His olfactory partner, perfumer Quentin Bisch, plays a key role in shaping the Maison’s signature. Along with partners such as Givaudan, his brother Quentin Barrois, CEO Marie-Laure Dubuisson Minnaert, and the entire team, he has built a House where creativity guides every decision.

This CEW France award therefore honors not only a creator, but also a shared vision: that of an independent Maison, true to its values, where emotion, boldness, and sincerity define a new way of thinking about haute perfumery.
