Style Edit: Henry Jacques’ perfumes capture the essence of luxury
From cultivation and meticulous ingredient selection, to bottling its fragrances by hand, the French haute parfumier does things differently
The making of a grand cru burgundy or champagne takes patience, terroir and consummate skill. The creation of exceptional perfumes – from soil to harvest to pressing – is no different. And within the rarefied world of haute parfumerie, there are few houses that can match the craftsmanship or commitment of Henry Jacques. With a heritage spanning five decades, this family-owned business is quietly refining – with a passion equal to that of a great vintner – what it means to be truly luxurious in the world of scent.
Established in 1975 near Grasse – the sun-dappled heart of French perfume – Henry Jacques has always taken a slow, artisanal approach. Mass production is anathema at a house where fragrances are crafted to express the rare and carefully harvested floral and botanical ingredients that go into them.
