Find out how the French luxury perfume house turned up the ante with the release of its limited‑edition Les Toupies collection
There are no rules in the world of haute parfumerie, although it is both artful and complex. Not only are rare fragrances crafted with utmost care, they are also presented in the most sublime containers.
As such, Henry Jacques has always strived to conceive and design exquisite bottles to hold its essences. For decades, the French luxury perfume house has cemented its position as a brand for the discerning few who appreciate precious scents. Matching crystal and fragrances has thus become central to Henry Jacques’ quest to create premium essences that are made with ingredients sourced from all over the world.
Founded by Henry Cremona in 1975, the heritage perfumery is well known for crafting bespoke fragrances for the world’s most discerning for over 40 years before offering its first collection available for retail.
The olfactory journey begins with a consultation with an in-house expert, who will take the client through a variety of scents while understanding their desires. A name of the scent is then defined and finally, clients are also advised on how to wear the perfume as well as the best accessories that will complement it.

Now, the house has revealed Les Toupies, or The Spinning Tops, the latest addition to its rare collection of Masterpieces. What’s special about this collection is that these fragrances were created and developed as complementary pairs—each contained in beautiful flacons which are similar in form yet completely different from each other. Just like a novel, the limited‑edition series is presented in the form of chapters.
Henry Jacques’ chief executive Anne-Lise Cremona explained: “We had initially wanted to present the Toupies all at once as a whole family, as this is ultimately how they should be. Nevertheless, we were very interested in having a real storytelling, and releasing them, couple after couple, chapter after chapter … which allowed us to focus on each character, just like a novel.”
