LA MAISON JACQUES FATH BOUTIQUE
12 Avenue Victor Hugo, 75116 Paris
With a deep respect for heritage and tradition, Jacques Fath Parfums opens the doors to a new boutique at 12 Avenue Victor Hugo. This address marks a continuation of a story that began in the heart of Paris nearly 80 years ago, where Jacques Fath first sought to capture the spirit of elegance through both couture and fragrance.
At the Avenue Victor Hugo boutique, guests are invited to immerse themselves in the world of Jacques Fath Parfums—where the beauty of high-quality raw materials can be experienced firsthand, and each fragrance reveals the artistry of a meticulous creation process in collaboration with talented perfumers. Thoughtfully designed, the boutique offers a welcoming space to discover the enduring spirit of Jacques Fath—where every scent is a story, rich with memory and emotion.
Where Heritage Meets Artistry: The Maison Jacques Fath Flagship
Inspired by the Maison concept, the flagship was thoughtfully designed by Creative Director Rania Naim to create a destination where guests are invited to explore the world of Jacques Fath Parfums in depth.
“This address, located just below my office at 12 Avenue Victor Hugo, holds a very special significance for me. This is the very place where all of Jacques Fath’s emblematic fragrances were born, including the legendary Iris Gris / L’Iris de Fath. I wanted this flagship to be much more than just a boutique: a genuine space for discovery, exchange, and sharing for every visitor,” shares Naim.
Set in a traditional Parisian environment, the brand’s nearly 80-year heritage is brought to life through thoughtfully curated experiences that transcend traditional retail. Every detail, from the interior design to the digital activations, reflects a commitment to offering richer, deeper experiences—celebrating the artistry, history, and innovation that define the house where every scent is a story, rich with memory and emotion.
“To celebrate the craftsmanship that is very dear to me, I imagined a symbolic and authentic gesture: a hanging basket linking my office window directly to the boutique. In this way, each Iris Gris box, prepared with utmost care by my own hands, is sent through this basket, and handed directly into the hands of the customer. This ritual highlights the human and artisanal dimension of our company,” says Naim. “It’s important to me to remind people that Jacques Fath is not a big industrial machine, but a dynamic team, where talented perfumers have a voice. We are a family house of niche perfumes, where passion, authenticity, and know-how take precedence over everything.”
A Setting Rich in History
Nestled on Avenue Victor Hugo, just steps from the Arc de Triomphe, the boutique finds its home along an avenue that stretches through the heart of the 16th arrondissement. Named in honor of the celebrated French writer Victor Hugo (1802–1885), the avenue carries a rich literary legacy; Hugo himself once resided at number 124, and the street was renamed in his honor in July 1881, a testament to his enduring influence on Parisian culture.
A Storied Address
Victor Hugo understood the evocative power of scent, often weaving references to fragrance and memory throughout his works. His words, “Voyez-vous, un parfum éveille la pensée” (“You see, a perfume awakens thought”), capture the profound connection between scent and imagination—a sentiment that resonates deeply with the art of perfumery.
On this avenue, where Hugo once lived and dreamed, La Maison Jacques Fath Parfums opens its doors to a world where past and present meet. At this storied address, the heritage of Paris may now be experienced not only in words, but in an olfactory experience—inviting all who visit to discover the timeless art of Jacques Fath Parfums.
