Jacques Heim. Couture house of Isidore & Jeanne Heim established a fur business in 1898 at 15 avenue Matignon, Paris. Their son Jacques introduced day and evening wear in the 1920s and sold perfumes to their clients in 1930 and introduced them to the public around 1945. Jacques Heim, who was Jewish, went into hiding from the Germans during WWII, managed to keep his boutique in business in Monte Carlo.
Heim became a perfumer because he considered perfume an "invisible diaphanous scarf which completes an ensemble."
All perfumes had ‘fox-head’ logo on the stoppers which had been designed by artist Sonia Delaunay.
