Roses have always stood out out as the perennial symbol of nature’s allure, capturing hearts with their beauty and depth. Yet, how often do we encounter a rose that truly captivates our senses, weaving its magic into our daily lives? Henry Jacques (Instagram), a name synonymous with excellence in perfumery, has once again revisited the essence of the rose with the introduction of three new fragrances in its exclusive Collection de l’Atelier.
Spring last year marked a pivotal chapter for Henry Jacques, sparked by the unveiling of a new rose and heralding a new era of fragrance creation. This encounter, serendipitous and charged with creativity, led to the birth of the Collection de l’Atelier, conceived in the south of France. Here, at this new atelier, roses are not just grown; they are nurtured into becoming the soul of Henry Jacques’ perfumes, a process akin to an artist musing over colors on a palette.
Crafted from the rare Rose de Mai absolute from the 2023 harvest, the collection introduces a trio of fragrances, each a limited edition marvel, presented alongside each other in a hand-crafted chest. Echoing the ethos of a painter’s studio where dreams morph into reality, these scents are destined to be ephemeral masterpieces, with only 500 released.
Rose Soleil is a dance of spice and warmth. Delicate yet daring, Rose Soleil blends clove, sandalwood, patchouli, and ylang-ylang with the sophisticated notes of the Rose de Mai. This fragrance is like a joyful laugh that escapes on an unexpected summer’s evening, both warm and inviting.
Rose Très Rose is complete, assured and distinctive. Rose Très Rose embodies the comforting essence of the Rose de Mai, offering a fragrance that feels like returning home. It stands resolute, pure, and complete, providing a sense of fulfillment and comfort with every encounter.
Rose Azur represents pure appeal. The most enigmatic of the trio, Rose Azur presents a charismatic bouquet of dry woody notes and citrus zest. It is a fragrance that demands attention, complex and rich, reflecting the unexpected twists of its charismatic personality.
These fragrances, part of the Les Essences line, celebrate the heritage of Henry Jacques in their most generous 30ml presentation. For those desiring even more exclusivity, 10 special chests containing both 15ml and 30ml flacons will be released across Henry Jacques boutiques in 2024.
As each year unfolds, nature will dictate the creation of new limited collections, each a trio that captures the rose’s unique character and the creative impulse of the moment.
