For centuries, perfumes have been housed in ornate terracotta jars, bottles, porcelain cups and crystal flacons. The earliest examples can be traced back to Ancient Egypt, but today you’ll find the most exquisite designs in Salon de Parfums.

So precious is Dior’s gold and diamond-studded J'Adore Exceptional Edition in Baccarat crystal that it’s locked in its own glass cabinet. While over in Henry Jacques, Les Toupies (meaning spinning tops in French) are individually crafted by crystal artisans to capture the light. Perhaps most special of all, however, is the Deux Cigalles created by Lalique for Roja Parfums. Made using the ‘lost wax’ technique, two cicadas appear on the inside of the crystal flacon, and it’s the last one in existence.  

Tucked away in the Arcade is an expertly curated collection of some of the world’s oldest and rarest pieces of history. Leipzig Galleries has spent the past 200 years acquiring signed photographs, sports memorabilia, historical documents and autographs. Go there now and you’ll see an exceedingly rare authentic autograph by Christian Dior presented on a vintage fashion poster, dated 1957.  

It’s hard to pick just one creation worthy of mention in Fine Jewellery, but taking inspiration from the Op Art movement, De Beers' Optical Wonder set makes the final cut. Part of The Alchemist of Light collection, the necklace and earrings boast geometric patterns created from pavé-set diamonds and coloured aluminium, casting mesmerising beams of reflected and refracted light. And there’s plenty more haute joaillerie art where that came from.
