Henry Jacques has never been shy about treating perfume as something closer to art than accessory, and its new Collection de l’Atelier 2025 makes that position clear. The latest launch is the final chapter in a three-part project built around the maison’s own Rose de Mai – an outstanding flower it has cultivated on its estate in the South of France and distilled into small, carefully edited runs of scent.

The new releases comprise a limited edition of just 500 Boîtes à Parfums, each holding three fragrances – Rose Azafira, Rose Très Rose 2025 and Rose Alambrah – composed around the 2025 Rose de Mai absolute, which is described as rounder and less powdery than previous harvests, with chestnut honey, cinnamon and saffron notes adding warmth and depth. The idea is to show how a single ingredient can move through different “frames”, like a subject in a triptych of paintings.
