Style Edit: Henry Jacques’ Les Brumes perfume collection offers the freedom to flirt with your fragrances, as the latest edition of the storied perfumer’s Les Classiques
- Hallowed perfumer Henry Jacques has reimagined its classic line of scents to produce Les Brumes, a fresh approach to collecting, wearing and applying fragrances
- Each Les Brumes fragrance is housed in a crystalline glass flacon complete with an interchangeable top – switch from a delicate perfume mist to the more sensual application of applying by hand
Experts have long debated the best way to apply a fragrance. Some insist that dabbing the scent onto specific body parts such as the décolleté, inside of the wrists and sides of the neck will maximise the longevity of an evocative scent. Others favour the “spritz and step” method, which involves walking into a cloud of perfumed mist, to ensure that the fragrance isn’t too strong or overwhelming.
Les Brumes offers a lighter, more modern expression of these traditional essences by giving luxury lovers even more choice when it comes to perfume application. The act of perfuming is no longer routine and is transformed into a joyful and uplifting experience that is part of our everyday lives.
It also features an interchangeable top, which gives the wearer the opportunity to personalise their luxury perfume experience according to their mood or the occasion. On some days they can opt for a simple, delicate spray which delivers a perfumed mist to the skin, hair and body. Other times they may wish to add a few drops to the fingers or palms of the hands, then apply the perfume directly to the skin with a gentle rub or light caress, creating a more intimate and sensual ritual.
