More about Jacques Zolty
Jacques Zolty , a photographer and model from the 1970s, has spent his life exploring heavenly places around the world. From the frenetic energy of the French Riviera to the contemplative tranquility of Thailand. After years of traveling, one place stole his heart: St. Barthélemy, a small French island in the Lesser Antilles.
"I've found the island of my life," explains Jacques Zolty . "St. Barth is like a fortress where I find shelter when the world gets too harsh, and where I can always find everything I need and an environment that will support me."
After 25 years under the spell of St. Barth, the heavenly island became his home. He is a true local. You can meet him anywhere, and everyone knows him. In his white linen suit and Panama hat, he perfectly conveys the tranquil and familiar elegance of the West Indies. The years spent in this paradise inspired Jacques to create a fragrance line that reflects the nature of Saint Barthélemy and the lifestyle that permeates the island day and night.
As every visitor to the island knows, a piece of paradise stays with you even after you leave. Favourite beaches reappear in dreams. The murmur of the sea breeze comes to mind... and the memory of the power that was in every breath enchants us beyond compare.
The scents of the island live on in our memories, from the first breath we take in the midday heat, sitting by the roadside and smelling the sun-baked asphalt, to the cool calm of the evening when the leaves of the night-blooming plants open.
