Henry Jacques is reviving a sense of grandeur and historic rituals within the realm of French Haute Parfumerie with its Royal Cabinet, a “meticulously hand-crafted chest designed to house a personal assortment of perfumes”, it has been announced.
“An immaculate accessory for the collector of fine scents, the Royal Cabinet can be filled with either 28 or 45 crystal flacons containing 15ml of essence from the heart of the Henry Jacques collection: its fifty ‘Les Classiques’,” according to a press statement issued in Doha by Ali Bin Ali Holding on the new collection from Henry Jacques.
“Selecting the perfumes – that are a culmination of the Maison’s years of immense know-how – to fill within the cabinet is a real pleasure, allowing one to compose a perfume wardrobe that truly encapsulates ‘you’,” the statement notes.
In crafting the Royal Cabinet, several artforms intertwine with French expertise. The Perfumier and Malletier, or trunk-maker, work hand-in-hand to create the masterpiece.
“Materials are of the finest quality; the outer cabinet made from the finest lamb leather and the inside, filled with magnificent velvet.”
The Royal Cabinet is a work of art that “encapsulates Henry Jacques’ craftsmanship and commitment to excellence not only in the olfactory sense, but the visual”, the statement adds. It is priced at QR65,040 and QR74,325 for 28 pieces and 45 pieces, respectively. The 15ml perfumes start from QR2,355.
