In summertime, thoughts naturally turn to travel. For those who don't want to be parted from their favourite Henry Jacques perfumes while on holiday, the house has its HJ Voyage line of cases, designed specifically for carrying and protecting its signature flacons and bottles.

Henry Jacques perfumes come in a variety of sizes, but the 15ml and 75ml offerings give the traveller the option of mixing and matching the perfect 'perfume wardrobe', whether the destination is a beach resort, the bucolic countryside or an elegant boulevard. The 15ml flacons contain Les Essences – opulent, highly concentrated fragrances and pure oils designed for careful dabbing that are the very soul of Henry Jacques' craft. The 75ml bottles are the vessels for Les Brumes – lighter versions of the maison's scents, created for spraying and everyday use.

The HJ Voyage collection offers cases that safely house either Les Essences or Les Brumes perfumes, either individually or in sets of three. Cases are available in rare leather – from electric-blue saltwater crocodile leather and black eel skin, to Italian black and white calf leather – or in intricately woven jacquard fabric, beautifully lined with soft goat suede. Zips are fashioned in palladium and gold, and in their details and craftsmanship, the cases are reflective of the high artisanal standards with which Henry Jacques is customarily associated.

And what could be more fitting for the HJ Voyage collection than the maison's travel-ready scents of the season?
For those seeking the sophistication and complexity offered by chypre floral fragrances, Henry Jacques has Femme de HJ, with an opening note of fresh iris that slowly blossoms into a luscious bouquet of rose, jasmine and carnation, all of which is underpinned by a base of patchouli and oakmoss – the balanced combination of bright, floral and earthy qualities that typify chypre perfumes.

Musk Oil White, meanwhile, announces its exotic presence with an opening of ylang-ylang and freesia, before unfolding an alluring heart of jasmine and rose damascena over a warm base of white musk and bourbon vanilla. The result is a perfume both sensual and harmonious.
