Gift a sun-kissed memory with Henry Jacques’ 3 new scents

Fragrance is more than just a scent — it is a memoir of moments and emotions. If a perfume is your gift of choice this Valentine’s Day, how about tapping into the power of a cherished shared memory encased in a precious bottle?

And when it comes to precious, nobody does it as well as luxury house Henry Jacques, which is renowned for designing entire bespoke fragrance wardrobes for the global elite.

For those of you whose most treasured times were spent basking alfresco with a sundowner, each drop of the Tiedeur d’un Soir d’Ete will transport you back to this carefree moment. Translating to the Warmth of a Summer Evening, this creation bursts forth with geranium and Madagascar pepper top notes, which evolve into a ethereal heart of jasmine, rose, and teak wood. Taking you deep into the night are the base notes of sandalwood, musk, and vanilla.

For a day scent that evokes a snug sensuality, look no further than the maison’s latest iteration of its popular Musk Oil series. Musk Oil Seductive opens with bright freesia and grapefruit notes, which softens into a rhubarb and heliotrope heart before settling into a lingering, warm base of amber, musk and vanilla. Wearing like a second skin, this creation is delicate yet versatile.

If sand, sea, and surf form your most intimate adventures, then Ulysee Men is perfect for your sporty other half. Lively marine notes are combined with zesty Florida grapefruit for an uplifting opening, which then eases into a sophisticated bouquet of geranium and neroli as the heart. As the perfume deepens, a soothing masculine base of cedarwood, oak moss, and white musk comes to the fore.

Apart from these new editions, it’s worth remembering that Henry Jacques had also created a super-luxurious solid perfume holder called the Clic-Clac made for the discerning world traveller.

And if you happen to be a Rafael Nadal fan, you might like to consider the tennis star’s collaboration with the house. Named In All Intimacy, it is a three-fragrance, Mediterranean-inspired couple collection named after the athlete and his wife Maria Perello.
