Style Edit: Henry Jacques Collection de L’Atelier is a set of 3 scents from the house’s own roses
- Harvesting its own Rose de Mai, the maison has created 500 sets of exclusive and never-to-be-repeated scents: Rose Soleil, Rose Très Rose and Rose Azur
A beacon of beauty, the rose symbolises many things across different cultures, making it a near-universal muse in everything from haute couture and jewellery making to fine cuisine.
The bloom is loved the world over for its delicate, even intoxicating scent with a single petal having power enough to captivate the imagination of those who breath in its distinctive aroma.
Naturally, roses are at the centre of the fragrance world. Their scent has been locked into the olfactory memory of many and evokes elegance, refinement and opulence.
Tapping into this beloved note in fragrance making, luxury French perfumer Henry Jacques continues its love affair with the flower in its latest creations, the Collection de L’Atelier.
While the flower has long played an essential starring role in Henry Jacques’ fragrance journey, last spring proved a turning point when the maison discovered a rose unlike any other. This encounter sparked the creation of one of the house’s most exquisite scents yet.
The HJ Rose de Mai led the maison to harvest its own roses for the very first time. The HJ Rose de Mai absolute, the aromatic oil extracted from the 2023 harvest grown on the land of Henry Jacques’ new atelier in the South of France, has lingering notes of honey and green herbs. There’s a jolt of spiciness to its tail too, bringing a dynamic personality that Henry Jacques has captured in a trio of scents.
