‘ROSE SOLEIL is delicate, warm, and spicy
Sophisticated and complex, the HJ Rose de Mai absolute plays with notes of clove, sandalwood, patchouli and ylang-ylang. This fragrance is youth in amused wrinkles, recklessness in wisdom, sparkling joy in an unconscious smile. The kind of smile only one who has lived their life to the fullest can make, leading us to lose track of time, enlightening our daily lives.
Henry Jacques’ journey has been filled with roses. Each with its own personality and secrets. For decades, roses have been a constant in H’s collections, and perfume lovers have longed for our rose creations. Thrilled by new concepts, always on a quest to innovate, the site of HJ’s new laboratory and atelier sparked an idea. With a unique microclimate sheltered by hills, incredible water quality, a soil rich ion iron and plenty of sun and rain the place was gathering the perfect conditions for HJ to grow its own roses.
The HJ Rose de Mai absolute extracted from HJ’s first very own rose harvest is unprecedented, very elegant, soft, and as natural and pure as it comes. It drove HJ to multiple compositions, like a painter would have created many shapes, forms, and eventually, pieces of art. This burst of creativity gave its name to the collection, Collection de l’Atelier, that might represent HJ’s purest form of creativity, bottled.
Like numbered lithographies, the new limited edition fragrances are an inspired interpretation of a lifetime of creativity and a glimpse into the captivating world of HJ.
To preserve the beauty of the first harvest, and to leave space for future creations from new harvests, the perfumes from Collection de L’Atelier will never be reissued. Just like great wines, they will be enjoyed, shared, collected, preserved – and one day, completely disappear. But their memory will remain.’ – Henry Jacques
