L'Art du Sur-Mesure

Henry Jacques was initially a confidential composition house dedicated solely to bespoke creations. Client demand and close collaborations with artisans nurtured a very strong culture of Sur-Mesure, now infusing every Henry Jacques collection. When Anne-Lise Cremona was entrusted with the legacy, together with Christophe Tollemer, they united a house of composition with a house of design, reaffirming Henry Jacques’ essence as a true Maison de Créations — one that builds directly upon its Sur-Mesure heritage to give rise to exceptional Sur-Mesure contemporary creations.

Olfactive self-portrait

The Maison continues to create unique Sur-Mesure (Bespoke) imprints for those seeking the ultimate affinity of an encounter with themselves. To achieve such a miracle, the Maison Henry Jacques begins a long exchange with the future initiate in a skillfully orchestrated ritual.

A dialogue to get to know them, or even surprise them, in order to create their olfactive portrait.

From the discovery of olfactory notes during the consultations to the composition and the production, the path to the grail of unique perfume is slow, enriching and exhilarating.

The creative process which spans over four months at best, is an incredible journey, made up of stages, hesitations and sudden flashes of clarity. The length of time devoted to it greatly contributes to the success of the process.

The access to the perfume, reserved for its owner alone, is the crowning achievement in the quest for this signature scent. An olfactory dream come true, a perfect harmony, an absolute imprint. This olfactive portrait dresses the wearer as much as the wearer carries it, writing the score of their most intimate emotions.

So that it is always available to its owner, this perfume joins the Maison’s archives. Unique, and intended for one person and one person only.
