shakir – :
If you love fruit with your vintage-style chypres — think Guerlain Mitsouko, Rochas Femme, Balenciaga Quadrille, Nina Ricci Deci Dela — be on the lookout for this elegant beauty.
Closest, perhaps, to YSL Champagne – it even has the same yeasty effervescence – Fath de Fath (1953) creates a sophisticated tightrope act between crisp bergamot and blackcurrant-leaf topnotes and a fruited floral heart of ripe pineapple, heliotrope, tuberose and orange blossom. I also sense jammy peach and apricot. The base is contrastingly dark and mysterious; oakmoss, amber, benzoin and sandalwood provide the edge that keeps the composition from being sugared or cloying. Perfume Posse mentions civet and patchouli and I’d agree; there is something definitely animalic growling in the depths. The dry down is heavenly, fully focused, and lingers for hours without losing a bit of the original complexity. This is quality, old-school perfumery all the way. (Sadly, the 1993 re-release is but a shadow . . .)
