Dawn of a new rose

French haute parfumerie Henry Jacques celebrates the inaugural harvest of its first proprietary rose breed with an exclusive and prestigious trio of perfumes

While some may see a rose simply as a flower, to a dedicated perfumer, it reveals a rich tapestry of significance. Each delicate petal holds a narrative woven from the threads of history, culture, and the potential for an aromatic masterpiece. Often associated with love and desire, the rose bears the burden of its thorns, embodying a mix of intricacies and paradoxes. For esteemed French perfumers like those at Henry Jacques, the rose is akin to a precious mosaic of scent elements, even a “language” all on its own.
