Amemory gains new dimension whenever scent comes into play. Delectable vanilla and invigorating tangerine waft through the air, and you are reminded of the explosion of flavours from an unforgettable meal. Then there is the sharp, sulphurous odour of brine and seawater that transports you to a coastal region, floating up vestiges of your last trip abroad. Or the heady amalgamation of cedarwood and amber, of which you’ve come to associate with an individual in your life. It seems an irrefutable fact as any: a fragrance can take you places—and, conversely, can be taken with you to further enrich your travels; a notion that is keenly showcased by French perfume house, Henry Jacques, with the launch of its HJ Voyage range.
