Les Toupies:
A dance of two
Total atworks
Les Toupies are a childhood game reimagined through the lens of rare craftsmanship. What begins as a raw, instinctive gesture is elevated into olfactive masterpieces.
Three duos of faceted crystal flacons endlessly twirl, capturing and reflecting light to reveal the characters of the fragrances within. Shadow meets light, form meets movement, mastery meets spontaneity — inviting infinite play.
Each pair reveals its own olfactive dialogue: Mr. H and Mrs. Y in perfect harmony, a tribute to Henry and Yvette, Henry Jacques' founding couple, Fanfan and Galileo in a vibrant, echoing rhythm, and N°16 and N°81 in an addictive tension.
Three duos of fragrances, each revealing itself in conversation with its partner.
Mr. H & Mrs. Y
Mr. H and Mrs. Y are a tribute to Henry Cremona and his wife Yvette, founders of the House.
Mr. H opens with the crisp clarity of cedar leaf and geranium, structured and composed. Mrs. Y responds with luminous ylang-ylang, rose damascena, and jasmine: radiant and airy. Where Mr. H defines, Mrs. Y illuminates.
Then, sandalwood, tobacco, and amber lend Mr. H warmth and depth, while Mrs. Y softens with iris and lily of the valley, adding a delicate, powdery lift. Tonka bean bridges them with subtle sweetness.
Like reflections, Mr. H and Mrs. Y complete one another: his woody trail shaping her floral diffusion, her brightness revealing his depth. In this harmony, neither leads; together, they express a single, timeless grace.
Fanfan & Galileo
Fanfan and Galileo live in the immediacy of the moment; instinctive, vibrant, and in constant motion. Their dialogue is not one of contrast, but of rhythm: a shared pulse where exuberance meets resonance in effortless fluidity.
Galileo opens with textured patchouli, rich and expressive, lifted by lavender and Italian mandarin. Tobacco, myrrh, and amber unfold into deeper sensuality and indulgence. Fanfan responds in echo: saffron and rose damascena extend his warmth into something softer and more diffused, while a hint of lavender creates a shared thread between them. They do not seek balance through symmetry, but through movement; between expansion and softness, depth and glow.
N°16 & N°81
N°16 and N°81 are unapologetically modern: they do not seek harmony, they generate it through tension. N°81 asserts clarity and structure: bergamot and grapefruit strike with sharp luminosity before unfolding into smoke, wood, and spice. N°16 answers with nuance and diffusion: Rose de Mai, iconic yet restrained, opens in a luminous floral breath and settles into a soft, honeyed warmth. Where N°81 draws lines, N°16 softens them; where one builds, the other blurs like an interplay of distinct forces, precision and fluidity, intensity and subtlety.
Les Renaissances:
la folie des grandeurs
Uniting Haute Parfumerie with the crafts of crystal making and fine jewellery to create olfactive masterpieces, Henry Jacques’ striking Les Renaissances collection reinvents a fantasised golden age of perfumery.
Christophe Tollemer drew inspiration from a portrait by the Italian Renaissance artist Bronzino, in which Eleanor of Toledo’s flamboyant gems, gold filigree, and damask gowns contrast with her delicate, almost translucent skin.
Les Renaissances are presented in six designs, where the natural glow of the exclusive fragrances within interacts in a play of light and transparency with gold filigree and flamboyant gems, each specially selected for every olfactive creation.
