Jake’s House is a marine citrus fragrance. Watery clean freshness encounters honeyed neroli for a light and clean musky finish. “Jake’s House is deeply personal to me. It was inspired by my grandfather — and the comforting, clean scent of his home in North Dakota. There was a quiet stillness there, a kind of safety. That memory became the heart of this fragrance.” - Founder, Michelle Pfeiffer.

HENRY ROSE JAKE'S HOUSE REVIEWS
Fragrantica: "This reminds me of when I was in my “orange” phase. I was obsessed with any and all perfumes that were orange oriented, including the fruit, leaves and tree bark. I think this is a great, laundered-clean (though not dryer-sheet) lukewarm orange that sits on the sweeter side of the spectrum without becoming a different fruit entirely, i.e. a clementine or a mandarin orange."
Fragrantica: "This fragrance is really beautiful and interesting and I keep reapplying it just to smell it on myself. To me it smells like a white lilac bush by a lake full of lily pads. The bush is young and you can smell the freshness of the green leaves by the flowers. I normally don't like such fresh scents but this is very noteworthy to me."
Fragrantica: "Holy Neroli - the opening of this was insanely strong of neroli. Thankfully after a few moments, this is exactly what I had been looking for in a neroli perfume - not to overbearing white florals with some freshness. Almost like orange blossom water. It’s fresh, light, a little sweet."
Fragrantica: "Such a gorgeous marine scent. Salty and a little floral thanks to the neroli. Perfect for splashing around in during the summer. If I didn’t live in Colorado (landlocked and arid), or rather, if I lived on the coast, I would wear this all summer long. For now, I’ll reserve this for coastal summer vacations. It’s not groundbreaking but it’s doing what it does beautifully."
Fragrantica: "In my opinion, this is the ultimate pairing for a linen summer wardrobe. On those muggy, oppressive hot summer days in the Southeast, where the humidity can make heavier scents feel suffocating, this offers a much-needed olfactory reprieve. It remains crisp and sharp throughout its wear, providing a clean "just-out-of-the-shower" feel that cuts through the heat. I highly recommend this for those who appreciate the sharp, slightly citrusy edge of neroli and enjoy a fragrance that defines the "clean" aesthetic. If you want a scent that handles extreme humidity with a sophisticated coastal vibe, this is a top-tier contender for your summer rotation."
Fragrantica: "Here’s why I LOVE this scent: After the initial burst of water-stone, Jake’s House gives the cleanest shower-fresh white floral vibes. AND IT DOESN’T GET TOO SWEET. It also doesn’t get too … cloying or annoying. It stays fresh fresh fresh. I had this last Spring/Summer and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on another bottle. It makes me feel like I’m sitting in a dappled English Garden - and that Elizabeth & Darcy will walk by at any moment. Very Austen. Highly recommend."
