L'Air Barbès
About This Fragrance
L'Air Barbès is a 2017 eau de parfum by 19-69, composed by Anne-Sophie Behaghel and Amélie Bourgeois. It layers the concrete alleys, outskirts, Barbès–Rochechouart, and fashion culture of Paris into one contrast between an inorganic city and human warmth.
Scent Profile
Aldehydes, lemon, and bergamot open in cold white light. Concrete, ylang-ylang, and tuberose add powder and creamy flowers. Ink, orris, white musk, leather, ambroxan, cumin, and woodsy notes leave paper, dry woods, and skin in the base.
Who It's For
It suits someone who prefers monochrome architecture, ink, and dry leather to soft florals or sweet citrus. Try it lightly in spring or early autumn, in galleries, museums, or city settings, with white, gray, or black tailoring.
