Why Henry Jacques’ Latest Invention, Clic-Clac, Is The Perfect Addition To Your Handbag
French haute parfumerie, Henry Jacques has reimagined solid perfume in time for a new era
The power of scent is a mysterious thing; it can evoke hidden memories and emotions deep in the psyche, elevate one’s mood and improve mental wellbeing. Some particular notes can even increase concentration and calm our nerves, having similar effects on the brain as fidget spinners, the popular pocket-sized toy which claims to soothe those of us with antsy tendencies. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before the two came together in one luxurious engineering feat, crafted by haute parfumerie, Henry Jacques.
The Clic-Clac certainly isn’t just any pint-sized version of your best-loved perfume. Marrying together a sleek, functional aesthetic with the savoir faire and technology of luxury Swiss watchmaking, this discreet talisman-like object ushers in a new era for solid fragrances, one where physical touch and playfulness has as much of a role in the experience for the wearer as the scent itself.
Unisex in nature and available in pink gold, carbon and titanium options, 50 of the haute parfumerie’s best-loved fragrances (known as Classiques) seamlessly fit inside of the Clic-Clac, now available in balm-like formulas; an excellent option for rushed travellers, those of us on-the-go, or a gifting option for the woman (or man) who has everything in life. Frivolous? Perhaps. While it may seem like an unnecessary addition to our handbags, there is just something so soothing in the sound and gesture of opening and closing the Clic-Clac case. It will undoubtedly be a conversation starter; a luxurious on-the-go knick-knack you never knew you needed.
