A Perfumer's Garden

Henry Jacques's artistic director Christophe Tollemer lends his magic touch to the maison's first stand-alone Parisian boutique, establishing an old-world-meets-modern-luxury design aesthetic

Imagine this: a French Haute parfumerie brand with international locations launching its only stand-alone boutique in its home country nearly half a century after its founding in 1975. That's Henry Jacques for you. The reason for this extreme delay in securing a location is simple: its first boutique in Paris had to be perfect. True enough, it is. The new boutique is not only located just off Champs-Élysées, at the start of the iconic Avenue Montaigne but also boasts a rare feature: it's very own private garden.

The boutique opened its doors this May and Tatler Singapore was given a private tour of the exquisite space the following month. Henry Jacques's chief executive Anne-Lise Cremona played tour guide, sharing details about the design elements of the duplex boutique.
