The refined elegance of the Henry Jacques perfume house meets the raw creativity of New York artist Heron Preston and his partner Sabrina Albarello in a collaboration that encapsulates emotion, memory, and passion in fragrance form.
For its second edition of “In All Intimacy,” Henry Jacques sought to bridge the worlds of bespoke perfume and modern art, translating the couple’s dynamic and shared artistic sensibility into two uniquely personal scents.
The connection between Preston, known for his multidisciplinary artistry and innovation, and Albarello, whose aesthetic resonates with authenticity and contemporary sophistication, sparked an olfactory journey that marries emotion with natural materials and unparalleled craftsmanship. Together, they have created two fragrances as distinct and complementary as their personalities, each exuding a presence that resonates on a deeply personal level.
Their journey with Henry Jacques began with intimate meetings in Paris, allowing the artists to share the core of their relationship and personal narratives. Guided by Anne-Lise Cremona, CEO of Henry Jacques, the couple delved into the intricate art of Haute Parfumerie, immersing themselves in a world where every ingredient tells a story and every fragrance evokes memory. Through collaboration and discovery, Preston and Albarello contributed to crafting “olfactive portraits” of their personalities, adding their own creative touch to each bottle. Preston’s fragrance reveals a fresh opening with Brazilian palmarosa, balanced by notes of rose, bergamot, and subtle spices, while warm notes of tonka bean and benzoin create a deep, earthy finish. Albarello’s fragrance, contrastingly, opens with warm spices of cinnamon and cardamom, settling into a harmonious blend of vanilla, white flowers, and woodsy notes that embody both elegance and strength.
Reflecting on the experience, Preston shared, “Creating a fragrance is about sharing a piece of yourself with the world, forging new connections and bringing intimacy into a shared space.” The couple hopes their perfumes will inspire an appreciation for the artistry of scent, blending their contemporary aesthetic with the time-honored traditions of Henry Jacques.
Now available online and at Henry Jacques boutiques globally, this latest edition in the “In All Intimacy” collection invites patrons to experience the evolving story of love and creativity embodied by two modern artists through a timeless medium: perfume.
