Its latest collection, Les Brumes, is new a rendition of Les Classiques that can be sprayed or splashed – now available at its Elements boutique in Hong Kong

For nearly 50 years, Henry Jacques has been the first name on everyone’s lips when it comes to exclusive fine perfumery. Starting off as a custom fragrance maker, the olfactory equivalent of a couture fashion house, the maison has recently made its unrivalled expertise in the world of scent available to a wider range of people, thanks to its network of boutiques around the world. Within those boutiques, the stars of the show have been the 50 different members of the foundational range of fragrances that Henry Jacques refers to as Les Classiques. Together, they represent the perfect distillation of the universe of scent that the maison has at its command.

Henry Jacques Les Classiques are available in a new rendition, Les Brumes, which can be splashed or sprayed.

Previously sold in the form of essences, mists and solids, Les Classiques are now available in a new rendition, one that can be either splashed or sprayed. Known as Les Brumes, these new versions of a much loved collection are available now in the Henry Jacques Hong Kong boutique, located in Kowloon’s Elements. They represent a modern twist on the traditions of the maison, both in the new ways that wearers can choose to apply them, and in the lighter, brighter, more airy way they express the fragrances that characterise Henry Jacques, while still remaining true to its history.

Henry Jacques’ Les Brumes perfumes are light and bright, but still retain the brand’s signature style.

Henry Jacques is renowned for complementing its precious fragrances with containers every bit as creatively inspired and aesthetically delightful. The flacons that house Les Brumes are not only pleasing to the eye with their sleek, minimalist lines, but also come with an innovative new top that allows the wearer to switch simply between spraying and splashing.

They are the work of the maison’s artistic director Christophe Tollemer, a long-time friend of the family behind the company, who has long been responsible for the design not only of its beautiful bottles but also of its boutiques and the display cabinets within them.

The flacons of Henry Jacques’ Les Brumes perfumes were designed by artistic director Christophe Tollemer.

His previous creations include everything from the dazzling cut glass spinning tops of Les Toupies to the gem and gold filigree encrusted, gently rounded beauties known as Les Renaissances. With Les Brumes, the irresistible flacons he has created contain some equally irresistible, highly contemporary fragrances.
