Jacques Fath
The Story of the Brand
Jacques Fath was born in 1912 in Maisons-Laffitte and was largely self-taught. In 1937, at the age of 25, he opened his couture house on Rue La Boétie in Paris. His modern, playful designs dressed the young chic Parisienne, and his atelier later employed great names such as Hubert de Givenchy, Guy Laroche and Valentino Garavani. The perfume saga began in 1945 with Chasuble, followed by the iconic Iris Gris and Green Water with perfumer Vincent Roubert. The house was revived under creative director Rania Naim and recently opened its own boutique at 12 Avenue Victor Hugo in Paris.
The Signature of the House
The scents carry Jacques Fath's joie de vivre and couture codes: references to his dresses, accessories and films, rendered with noble raw materials such as neroli, grey amber, iris and rose absolute. The perfumes tell stories yet remain wearable, with a classic structure and a playful, modern touch.
Collections
Since 2016 creative director Rania Naim has worked with independent perfumers Cécile Zarokian and Luca Maffei, and later with IFF master perfumer Jean-Christophe Hérault and Patrice Revillard. Zarokian created Green Water, Red Shoes and Curacao Bay among others, Maffei made Les Frivolités, and Hérault created Vetiver Gris. There is also the L'Iris de Fath line.
Popular Fragrances
Green Water, the 1946 citrus aromatic classic, and Red Shoes, inspired by the 1948 ballet film, are the best-known scents. L'Iris de Fath, a tribute to the iconic Iris Gris, is also much sought after.

Why Fragrance Has No Gender
In niche perfumery, it is not about categories but about experience.
Many niche houses do not create their perfumes specifically for men or women. Instead, they tell a story, evoke a memory or bring an emotion to life. The scent takes centre stage, not the gender of the wearer.
At ParfuMaria, we believe a fragrance has no gender. Every scent develops in its own way through the natural chemistry of your skin. At Jacques Fath, too, you are free to choose, however a scent is described.
So try not to be guided too much by terms such as women, men or unisex. The most beautiful fragrance is not the one that fits a certain box, but the one in which you recognise yourself and which you enjoy wearing.
A fragrance does not choose a gender. A fragrance chooses a personality.
What the ParfuMaria Team Thinks About This Brand
We appreciate Jacques Fath for its blend of genuine couture history and contemporary craftsmanship. The scents are refined and well built without becoming heavy, and each has a recognisable story. We often recommend Green Water and L'Iris de Fath as an introduction.
