SOTD: B683 by Marc-Antoine Barrois

Good Morning Brotherhood from a sunny, cool Chicago. We are still making that transition into spring, and I love seeing the sense of renewal that comes when we actually get to experience the seasons changing. I have been very busy, and this weekend was no exception, but I did get to link up with my brother from another mother,

@Paul Bartnicki

, for our quarterly frag field trip to House of Dubai and hangout. I walked away with four absolute bangers, in my opinion.

My scent of the day is B683 by Marc-Antoine Barrois. It may be reminiscent of its brother Ganymede, but it is not redundant at all. To my nose, this composition is spicier, more resinous, and more earthy, with less of the metallic edge, though there is still a hint of metallic and ozonic presence here. It also comes across as less floral. There feels like a deliberate touch of something edgy and synthetic in the composition that gives it an unusual character, but it is not off-putting at all.

This fragrance puts me in mind of a city center just after a fresh rain, when the water is drying on the concrete, people are moving through a busy morning, and all those different aromas are blending together in the air. Projection is fantastic at about 6 feet, and the sillage is just as strong. This is my first full wear, so I cannot speak on longevity yet, but as it stands right now, I give B683 a solid 8.75.
