Henry Jacques’ Les Toupies collection sees perfumes as conversations, and the crystal flacons housing them as objects to be owned – and held – for life

Henry Jacques has built its reputation on precision, and Les Toupies pushes that instinct into new territory: fragrances conceived not as solitary statements but as conversations. The collection takes its name from the spinning top (la toupie in French) – a childhood toy reimagined in mouth-blown crystal, its form now closer to sculpture than plaything.

Artistic director Christophe Tollemer spent more than three years challenging Europe’s great crystal houses to reach the limits of their craft, insisting on perfectly symmetrical, multifaceted flacons with no central axis – stable enough to cradle rare perfume, yet designed to be held and turned rather than simply displayed. The facets catch and scatter light with the slightest rotation, elevating the flacon from simple container to a statement in its own right. It is the kind of object that reveals itself fully the longer you hold it.
