If you’re going to buy the very finest in perfumes, you’re going to want the give them the very finest of homes. Fortunately, both of those things are available in Hong Kong thanks to legendary French perfume house Henry Jacques, which has released a new collection of solid perfumes. And, to complement and store them, the magnificent Clic-Clac, a revolutionary new accessory that allows you to house your precious fragrance collection within a groundbreaking, mysterious and head turning work of art.

Henry Jacques’ solid perfumes come in 50 fragrances drawn from the brand’s Les Classiques base collection.

Henry Jacques has become one of the world’s most sought after perfumers, with almost half a century of history since it was founded by the globetrotter Henry Cremona, whose passion for fragrance was inspired by his many travels.

Based in Grasse in southern France, the heart of the global perfume industry, the house opened its first Hong Kong boutique in 2021. It already houses Henry Jacques’ coveted collections of essences and mists – and now those coveted fragrances are joined by an equally sought after range of solid perfumes, which perfectly recreate the scents of its 50 Les Classiques fragrances in solid form.

Such a spectacular collection of olfactory treats pretty much demands an equally spectacular accessory to house and dispense them. So say hello to Clic-Clac: an enigmatic, avant-garde artwork in its own right but also a retractable case that slides back to reveal a capsule of your favourite solid perfume, ready to apply.

Clic-Clac is an enigmatic, avant-garde artwork in its own right.

Rendered in a range of pleasing materials, from ultra-tough titanium to futuristic carbon, to glamorous gold, Clic-Clac is the result of four years of painstaking development. To ensure this unique accessory is as reliable and tough as it is aesthetically pleasing, Henry Jacques sought the help of the group of people who know the most about creating precision mechanisms of absolute reliability: the Swiss watchmaking industry. Together they have created an object that will last a lifetime, providing the owner with a lucky charm, a work of art and a talking point that will both house one of their most precious possessions and become one itself.
