Since 1945,
Jean d’Aigle has been enhancing the alchemy that links man to nature, an essential, ancestral, unique connection woven from a fragile thread and a source of a thousand virtues.
The power of the elements is immense. Plants and minerals use a unique language, radiating with a vibratory energy. Sensitive to the whispers of the world,
the Jean d’Aigle brand seeks to capture the impalpable, to reveal the invisible through
Intense sensory experiences inspired by ancient rituals.
But nature is delicate. To transcribe all the beauty of one's soul into subtle and authentic accords requires slowness and expertise. Observe first, compose then. Go to the essential to touch deeply, feel and feel so that the magic can work. Each fragrance will then reveal its immense power. Almost mystic parentheses amid the noise of the world, Jean d'Aigle perfumes soothe the mind and heal the heart. They reconnect us to our inner landscapes and to the infinite benefits of nature, to the essential.






A crumpled leaf is a confidence. She reveals her secret, a part of herself, and lets us take away her memory.
Jean Soutter
was born in the medieval village of Aigle, nestled in the Swiss Alps. From an early age, he was drawn to the natural world, spending his days exploring the forests beyond the castle walls, collecting plants and pressing them between the pages of old books. His family, generations of miners, taught him about the Earth's raw materials, and he absorbed every lesson with unyielding curiosity. One evening, during a village celebration, he witnessed a ritual unlike any other: herbs burned in sacred fumigation rites, their fragrant smoke curling into the night air. The mingling scents of damp stone, pine, and crushed herbs imprinted themselves deep within him. As he grew older, life unfolded as expected, his studies led him to a promising career in botany, a family of his own, and the quiet rhythm of daily life. Yet, beneath the surface of his contentment, an unshakable emptiness lingered, a void he could neither name nor ignore.

Transmute matter into emotion, capture the soul of the world to create a fragrance.
One night,
in search of answers for his research, Jean lingered in the university library, leafing through forgotten manuscripts. It was there that he came across the writings of a German Benedictine abbess, an ancient text the likes of which he had never seen. More than a simple catalog of medicinal plants, she spoke of their power to act on human emotions, to influence the mind and touch the soul. Turning the fragile pages, he discovered a passage devoted to the ancient rituals of fumigation in the forests of Aigle, the very ones he had witnessed as a child. In an instant, the scents of his past flooded over him, vibrating in the depths of his being: the smoky wisps of burning herbs, the damp forest air, the wildflowers crushed beneath his footsteps. It was as if time had folded in on itself, awakening something long buried. The emptiness that had accompanied him for years was, for a moment, replaced by a deep sense of belonging.
