A hundred and sixty years after opening their first shop in Paris, Cartier has become the most famous jeweler and watchmaker in the world. Their collections nevertheless kept their audacious family spirit of the early days when the three Cartier brothers Louis, Pierre and Jacques, the founder’s great grandsons, would scour the earth – from India to Russia and the Persian Gulf- for the most beautiful gemstones, which contributed to create a revolutionary style in jewelry and watchmaking, mixing classicism and avant-garde.
Isabelle Subra Woolworth specializes in antique jewelry and her curation is nothing short of amazing. She has a soft spot for the Victorian era, but she also has outstanding numbers from the 1920’s and the 1960’s in store including Line Vautrin designs and exquisite lady items she hunts worldwide. A must visit.
For the creators John and Clara Molloy, fragrance is a journey. Each scent is inspired by a precise place: Lalibela, a holy city in Ethiopia, with hints of rose nacrée , Sundance, Utah’s famous film festival, with notes of tuberose, Inlé, a lake in Burma, smelling of iris, Siwa, an oasis in Egypt, and its heady vanilla…All places are rich with history or a symbol. The brand new perfume, Quartier Latin, is a celebration of our area, a delicate scent with sandalwood, cedrus, clove and bezoin resin, a fragrance for two.
The scents of the Dyptique Candles have become indispensable, but there are other candles which are in harmony with them to give places we love a genuine character. Cire Trudon, a Royal Manufacture with an ancestral knowledge, which is the oldest candle factory in the world (1643) created them ! Here the perfumes are not identifiable at first “smell” but there are unique mixes which all reinterprete a moment of history and bring the legend of French taste to light : Empire, Pondichéry, La Marquise, Chandernagor, Odeur de Lune, Odalisque or Carmelite, Empire, Dada…
Marie-Hélène de Taillac’s jewels are our favorite talismans. The designer spends six months per year in Jaïpur where she chooses her stones and makes them cut by Indian craftsmen. Briolettes, tourmalines, chalcedonies, they are all exceptional, and set in a way that they seem to be floating in the hollow of our necks or on our fingers. We are crazy about them !

To bring back the glory days of the Jean-Vincent Bully’s Officine which made a name for itself in the 19th century, Victoire de Taillac and Ramdane Touami went back to the original recipes and associated ancestral textures and protocoles with innovative cosmetic techniques to obtain natural products with longtested virtues.
Nothing is missing in the interior design imagined by Nicolas Daul, from the real apothecary counters to the painted ceilings, the spirit of Honoré de Balzac can be felt everywhere !
Le LABO’s thirteen fragrances are all composed with a primary scent (vetiver, orange blossom, oud, sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli, bergamot orange, tuberose, iris, rose, neroli, jasmine…) after which they are named, followed by the number of ingredients used in each fragrance to complement the top note. Chic and confidential.
Gloves, mittens, short or long; made of lambskin, treated sheepskin, peccary, silk, wool or linen … To find those, there is only one place: the Maison Fabre : the famous glover, who, since 1924, has dressed our hands as with jewels.
