PARIS, March 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Fragrance Du Bois announces its arrival on the international scene, with a glittering European debut at the house of Jovoy.
Affectionately known as the ‘Embassy of rare perfumes’, Jovoy is extremely particular about the brands and products that it represents and lends a platform to, and the introduction of Fragrance Du Bois at the very epicentre of the fragrance world, has sparked worldwide media interest.
Coinciding with Jovoy’s fourth anniversary, the newly developed relationship between Fragrance Du Bois and Jovoy is nothing if not propitious.
Jovoy’s dedication to the highest quality fragrances, created by the world’s most innovative perfumers, has been its credo since Francois Henin launched the marque four years ago. Fragrance Du Bois’ range of products can now rightly take its place in the pantheon of rare and exclusive items that are perfectly aligned with the Jovoy ethos; quality, creativity and exclusivity.
The collaboration — merely the beginning of a planned, ongoing partnership between the two brands — is a meeting of the minds and a coming together of cultures, with Fragrance Du Bois having its roots in Asia, and Jovoy representing the finest, most respected traditions of French perfumery. All Fragrance Du Bois’ products are expertly crafted in France, by a coterie of accomplished perfumers and artisans, while an essential ingredient in all its creations is both exotic and oriental.
In every Fragrance Du Bois formulation is the 100% pure, natural, sustainably produced Oud oil — an ingredient with which the world’s top perfumers are clamouring to work. Oud lends an extraordinary depth and longevity to a fragrance, and while there are many imitators across the globe, the essential oil that Fragrance Du Bois’ perfumers are able to use in their creations is much coveted and the envy of the industry.
Fragrance Du Bois owns its own plantations on which the Aquilaria trees that produce Oud is grown. The plantations are managed by Asia Plantation Capital — an award-winning and industry-leading company whose proprietary techniques and expertise have brought the species back from the brink of extinction, and created a vertically integrated business model that is becoming an emblem for our times.
“We have very specific values at Jovoy,” said Francois Henin.“Quality is key, of course, but we are also looking for something a little bit different. The global fragrance market has become somewhat generic in recent years, and we pride ourselves on encouraging brands that show originality and creativity. We’re delighted to be able to debut Fragrance Du Bois in Paris at our ’embassy’, as we share the same ethos. All products must use the finest ingredients, sustainably produced, and blended into exquisite formulations that both stimulate and inspire.”
Using only the finest, sustainably sourced and produced ingredients, Fragrance Du Bois has boutiques inSingapore, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, with several more openings being planned around the world in the coming weeks and months. Its exquisite range of products can now also be found at Jovoy, Paris, as the young and innovative brand establishes its credentials in the world of haute parfumerie with its use of only natural and sustainable ingredients.

About Jovoy
The Parisian boutique, known affectionately as the ‘Embassy of rare perfumes’, which is celebrating its fourth anniversary at 4 rue de Castiglione on the 29th February 2016, has established itself as the ultimate address for lovers of intimate, personalised and creative fragrances.
Francois Henin, the man whose vision created the iconic brand, discovered and fell in love with the art of perfumery in Southeast Asia, establishing an essential oil distillery in Vietnam, before honing his craft in Grasse,France.
Jovoy has embarked on a franchising strategy that is set to augment the landscape of the global fragrance industry in the 21st Century, exhibiting and championing the cause of niche fragrances that stand out from mainstream brands, while staying true to essential precepts of fine French perfumery. With operations in Tehran,Iran, and a pilot boutique in Le Mans in the heart of France, Jovoy has also now confirmed the launch of a first boutique in Doha, Qatar.
