Hellenist Paris was born from Jean-David Jacoby's deep connection to Greece and his fascination with fragrances. In 2024, he realized the idea of a Maison that unites Greek culture, art, and the art of perfumery. With artists and perfumers, he translates myths, landscapes, and memories into a contemporary olfactive language. Jacoby discovered Greece at the age of six on a family trip to Santorini. For about 15 years, he returned annually, traveling to more than 20 islands in the Dodecanese, Sporades, and Cyclades. After over 20 years in leadership positions in the international luxury and perfume industry, he founded Hellenist Paris. His memories of the Aegean form the emotional foundation of the brand.
