Henry Jacques has unveiled an ephemeral installation at Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris, a special space devoted to contemplation and conversation. Set in the heart of the Palace’s grand lobby and open to visitors until 2nd February 2026, the singular creation showcases the iconic Les Classiques collection and offers a multi-sensorial, immersive experience conceived to celebrate craftsmanship.
TWO FRENCH INSTITUTIONS IN RESONANCE: A House of Haute Parfumerie with a pioneering boutique concept, Henry Jacques designs each of its spaces as a true home. Architecture, décor and experience intertwine to reimagine the world of perfume. These places invite visitors to linger, converse and discover the collections, presented alongside works of art and the Maison’s archives. This art of welcoming is paired with an exceptional sense of service, inherited from a culture of Sur-Mesure, in which every visitor is not only received but anticipated, and attentively guided through a human and emotional experience that fosters a sincere attachment to the Maison. This vision of hospitality naturally resonates with that of Le Royal Monceau, an emblematic hotel institution and a vibrant living space where service, creativity, and gastronomy flourish in constant motion. For Henry Jacques, as for Le Royal Monceau, every detail matters; each gesture becomes an expression of refinement and emotion. Their shared pursuit of the sublime unites them in a mutual celebration of the art de vivre à la française. AN ODE TO CRAFTSMANSHIP AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL IN AN EPHEMERAL INSTALLATION: Henry Jacques tells its story while reflecting the elegance and sophistication of its host venue, transforming the lobby of Le Royal Monceau into a living space where each visitor is invited to move around a singular work of art, to contemplate it, and to interact with it. From each angle, the experience is given a new life, revealing new perspectives on both the sculpture and the space itself. Folia Vitae (“Leaves of Life”) is a sculptural work conceived by Christophe Tollemer, Artistic Director of the Maison, and Margot Cremona, set designer and daughter of Anne-Lise Cremona, CEO of the Maison. Designed to evoke the Maison’s spirit of Haute Parfumerie Vivante, the striking installation delicately marries nature with art. In Folia Vitae, the precision of craftsmanship meets an imaginative, almost fantastical vision: a circular tree measuring 140 cm in diameter, bearing perfumes. More than 1,000 plaster leaves and fruits, each meticulously cast from real plants, testify to the mastery of exceptional craftsmanship. By uniting a house of composition with a house of design, Henry Jacques embraces multiple crafts – perfumery, watchmaking, leatherwork, and high jewellery, and brings its Art-de-Vivre to life with such exacting standards that the Maison is often compared to Haute Couture. In the same spirit, Le Royal Monceau offers experiences at the crossroads of various worlds: hotel, restaurants, gallery, and wellness – where every detail contributes to a singular sensory journey.
EXTEND THE EXPERIENCE BEYOND CONTEMPLATION: A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE THE HENRY JACQUES EXPERIENCE IN AN INTIMATE SETTING: From Thursday to Saturday, 4pm to 8pm, Henry Jacques offers an extension of Folia Vitae, inviting visitors to explore Les Classiques, the Maison’s iconic collection, guided by expert perfumers. Each fragrance experience becomes a new layer of emotion, offering a fresh sensory interpretation of the work and creating a true initiatory journey into the heart of Haute Parfumerie. For the most curious, a cocktail and mocktail pairing will be offered at the Le Bar Long, revealing new facets of the fragrances. For those seeking a more personal olfactive journey, Henry Jacques offers Sur-Mesure consultations, intimate olfactive styling experiences, in a Le Royal Monceau private suite, or at the Henry Jacques boutique on Avenue Montaigne. Through its presence at Le Royal Monceau, the Maison extends its vision beyond its walls, offering guests a concentrated expression of the Henry Jacques experience, enriching their stay.
