Essai sur la langue de la réclame contemporaine, Marcel Galliot, 1955:
"Some designations are even puns, if not riddles: Jacques Heim's recent perfume, J'aime, alongside its amorous suggestion, obviously plays on words with the designer's name."
The Bermudian, 1966:
"Like so many fine French perfumes, this is from the French couture house of JACQUES HEIM. J'aime is the name — a lovely light floral bouquet which will appeal to every lady who likes a subtle, interesting fragrance."
L'Art et Mode, 1966:
"Jacques Heim, a great Couturier, had to create a new perfume; the worldwide success of J'aime, perfume loves if ever there was one, could encourage him to offer us a new note; this is the case with Shandoah which has just been published; already tested on hundreds of women, it will be very popular this winter. But Jacques Heim has not been subtle with men; for us, two great successes, the Eau de Toilette Monsieur Heim and the after -shave Monsieur Heim; composed of citron, rose, lemon, ambergris, woody essences and vetiver. Monsieur Heim eau de toilette is so tempting, that women also want to adopt it."
Officiel de la couture et de la mode de Paris, 1967:
"Jacques Heim pleases with J'aime and Shandoah, young and fresh, composed of absolute roses, Castilian jasmines, languorous irises."
Paris-match - Issues 1736-1753, 1982:
"J'aime by Jacques Heim. A chypre, original, classy fragrance. For a woman who reveals an endearing personality."
