L'Iris de Fath Extrait de Parfum
A 2018 recomposition of Fath's Iris Gris: overdosed iris merging with peach, framed by jasmine, rose, violet and a dark oakmoss base.
Perfumer: Patrice Revillard
L'Iris de Fath Extrait de Parfum is a recomposition of Jacques Fath's Iris Gris, launched in 1947 and gone by 1954, unveiled at Esxence 2018. Patrice Revillard composed it, working with Maelström creative director Yohan Cervi. Without direct access to the formula, they drew on vintage versions and the Osmothèque reconstruction, keeping the original's main materials while taking different routes toward the same effects.
The opening is a luminous accord of Neroli and Petit-grain with bergamot, followed by a fluffy peach that is both sparkling and gourmand.
Iris, overdosed, sits at the center: Iris Absolute and Iris Butter show its many facets and merge with the peach. Jasmine from Grasse, Turkish rose and violet flower and leaf delicately lift that heart, while carnation absolute adds a spicy structure.
Oak Moss Absolute, Sandalwood, Bourbon Vetiver and Musks anchor the scent on skin with darker, more mysterious shades. The pictured 30mL presentation pairs a rectangular clear-glass bottle and gold-toned neck with a pointed silver-toned cap.
