Henry Jacques, the renowned French haute perfumery, recently launched the second edition of it’s In All Intimacy Collection. It is with Heron Preston and Sabrina Albarello. The first edition of this collection was with Rafael Nadal and Maria Perello in 2022.

“Henry Jacques first met Heron Preston in Paris at the opening party of the Henry Jacques Montaigne boutique, where he was invited to DJ. Heron Preston is a multifaceted New-York based artist with a background in design. As a designer, art director, and DJ he has made significant contributions to the worlds of fashion and culture. He founded his own label in 2016. Two years later he met Sabrina, and fell for her personality and vision, which helped him shape the women’s division of the brand. Their work is deeply inspired by sustainability and technology and inherently speaks to the next wave of culture, fashion, innovation, environmental responsibility and human impact.
Inspired by Heron and Sabrina’s creativity and contemporary vision, Henry Jacques found it intriguing to tell their story in a way that had never been done before: through fragrance.”
“Anne-Lise Cremona, CEO of Henry Jacques, invited them to join her in Paris to start what will be their first project as a couple. The crafting process began with a series of intimate meetings in Paris, followed by extended conversations between Paris and New York. During those consultations, Henry Jacques witnessed the couple’s alchemy and listened to their confidences to translate their love and personalities into perfume.”
Both Heron and Sabrina’s personality have been captured in the perfumes they have helped create. The perfumes share three key ingredients, yet “their fragrances are distinct yet complementary, mirroring the balance and connection in their relationship.”
Heron Preston’s fragrance

“Heron’s fragrance starts with a clean, crisp burst of freshness from the Brazilian palmarosa. A hint of rose, bergamot and spicy notes balance the fresh spark. Then dry notes from hay and tonka bean’s almond notes warm up the fragrance. Vanilla and benzoin add leathery and smoky notes and deepen the fragrance.

Warm, sparkling, open, then deep and complex, Heron’s fragrance is ‘’very special, very different, very Heron’’ asserted Sabrina.”

“Sabrina’s fragrance, on the contrary, has a warm and enveloping opening with spicy notes of cinnamon and cardamom. Then tonka bean and clove counterbalance the comfy sensuality of the clean, musky notes of delicate white flowers. Vanilla, benzoin and deep, rich woody notes give elegance and coziness to the fragrance.

The fragrance is soft and strong, dual, as Sabrina’s personality: ‘’She makes me feel safe but she can be fierce’’ said Heron.”
“Creating their own perfume was about sharing a piece of themselves with the world and thus forging new connections. ‘’Sharing is this sort of special experience that links. It creates a bond, a union between yourself and your community, a sort of closeness.’’ said Heron.
To the couple, building a fragrance with Henry Jacques was also a reminder and an inspiration for their own activity. ‘’This experience has a sort of lasting momentum in my brain.’’ said Heron. ‘’Care, attention to detail, consistency, staying true to yourself, being authentic…” Heron repeated those words as a mantra learnt by heart.”
