Henry Jacques & Oud


Henry Jacques perfumes manifest the soul of the Maison’s founder Henry Cremona, a world traveller who drew on his childhood, wanderlust, and dreams of faraway lands to feed his deep passion for fragrance. From his endless encounters with Middle Eastern culture and traditions, he discovered the refined and rare scents of Oud – and the opulence it adds to any perfume. The Maison has been mastering Oud blending for over 30 years now, seamlessly merging its delicacy within French compositions.

Perfume Rituals


Always innovating and presenting novel ways to wear and layer scents, Henry Jacques brings back the beauty of a special gesture with its Essences and Mists, or ‘Brumes’. Dab a few drops of Essence on your wrist and add a finishing touch of the newly launched Les Brumes – which can be either splashed or sprayed.
