Jeroboam Paris: the musk extract as a universal language

Jeroboam Paris, a house founded in 2015 by François Hénin and Vanina Muracciole

Jeroboam Paris perfumes were born in 2015 from the meeting of François Hénin, founder of Jovoy Paris, and independent perfumer Vanina Muracciole. The starting point was a creation, Origino, a concentrated musk base in extrait de parfum whose exploration became, as the official history page tells it, the thread of a fully-fledged brand. The name is a wink: a jeroboam is a 3-litre bottle, while the house chose the compact flacon — the founding oxymoron of a perfumery built on concentration.

The signature scents of the Jeroboam house

The house pantheon brings together Gozo, an oriental floral of saffron and tuberose that became the brand's best-seller, Kun Amo, a fruity chypre of raspberry and almond, Insulo, a pared-back vanilla oriental built around jasmine, Your Oudhness, a sumptuous oud made for winter, and Vespero, an evening woody leather. Signatures that have established Jeroboam among lovers of niche perfumery.

The Jeroboam olfactory signature: Vanina Muracciole's musks

Each extract is built around a cocktail of musks — white, clean and enveloping, or darker and more animalic — signed by Vanina Muracciole, the house perfumer. The extrait concentration deliberately amplifies the musky base for remarkable longevity, while saffron, tuberose, vanilla or oud give each one its relief. The names are borrowed from Esperanto — Origino the origin, Insulo the island, Ligno the wood — because for Jeroboam, musk is a “Lingvo Internacia”, an international language every skin understands.

Who are Jeroboam perfumes for, and when to wear them?

The house is unisex: every creation can be worn by anyone. The floral extracts suit daytime and sunny days, while the woody and oriental ones take over in autumn and in the evening. If you enjoy Jeroboam, also explore Jovoy Paris, François Hénin's other house, Akro, Olivier Cresp's gourmand niche house, and Initio Parfums Privés, three characterful signatures at Soleil d'Or.

How to choose your Jeroboam Paris perfume?

Hesitating between the power of Gozo and the sweetness of Kun Amo is natural: an extract is best chosen on skin. Our made-to-measure discovery box (€29) gathers 5 samples of 2 mL of your choice, hand-prepared from the official juices — ideal for wearing several Jeroboam extracts for a few days before choosing your bottle. The house also offers its own discovery set, and our Lille boutique welcomes you for a guided trial.

Jeroboam Paris at Soleil d'Or, a Lille perfumery since 1953

Founded in 1953 by Jeanne Muyllaert on Lille's Grand'Place, Soleil d'Or is an independent perfumery passed down from generation to generation. Hubert Maes (third generation) made it a reference for niche perfumery; today his daughters Victorine and Apolline Maes (fourth generation) uphold that standard at 22 rue de la Clef, Lille (59800), where the whole Jeroboam Paris collection can be discovered with the team's guidance.

Frequently asked questions about Jeroboam Paris perfumes

Why are Jeroboam perfumes named in Esperanto?

Because musk, the heart of every Jeroboam creation, is present in almost every perfume in the world: a universal language, like Esperanto, created in 1887 by Ludwik Zamenhof — the house speaks of a “Lingvo Internacia”, an international language, and names each of its extracts in it. Origino = Origin · Insulo = Island · Vespero = Evening · Hauto = Skin · Ligno = Wood.

Why does Jeroboam only offer perfume extracts?

Because the house only works with extrait de parfum, the highest concentration: dense, long-lasting compositions in which perfumer Vanina Muracciole deliberately amplifies the musky base so the perfume lasts on skin. No fragrance is declined as eau de parfum or eau de toilette. The house claims extracts made for strong, provocative personalities, as its official history page puts it — and Vanina Muracciole likes to compare perfume to a hot-air balloon, which needs enough hot air to take off.

What is the best Jeroboam perfume to start with?

Gozo, a supercharged oriental floral of saffron, tuberose and musks, is the house best-seller and its most emblematic entry point; Kun Amo, a fruity chypre of raspberry, almond and musks, is the most immediately seductive; Origino, the founding creation, offers the muskiest and most universal signature. To decide on skin, our discovery box lets you compose 5 samples of 2 mL, including your Jeroboam extracts.

What does the name Jeroboam mean?

The name Jeroboam is a wink to the jeroboam, the 3-litre wine bottle: François Hénin enjoyed the contrast between the most generous of formats and the small 30 ml flacon that became the signature of his extracts. It is the founding oxymoron of the brand — the absolute concentrate in the most nomadic object, the quintessence of perfumery in your pocket.

Are Jeroboam perfumes unisex?

Yes — all Jeroboam perfumes are unisex: the house genders none of its creations, and their shared musky base makes them universal on skin. Boha, a luminous gardenia, and Hauto, a soft musky floral, lean towards registers often associated with the feminine; Vespero, a deep woody leather, towards more masculine ones. The best judge is your own skin, during a guided trial at our Lille boutique.
