Description
Fath’s Essentials, the Collection of Jacques Fath perfumes continues to expand. The first four fragrances were made in collaboration with perfumer Cécile Zarokian. She rehabilitated the mythical Green Water and created three other fragrances, with a complementary and unique vision. The second part of the collection, four new fragrances with a more feminine direction are presented in preview during Esxence at Milano. The perfumer is Luca Maffei. For this Collection, the main theme translated is “la Joie de Vivre” that Jacques Fath expressed in his creations and during his life. To achieve the goals requested by the brand, the perfumer, Luca Maffei, selected innovative raw materials and noble ingredients to match with the violet, pink, red and gold colors chosen by designer Rania Naim to infuse the femininity of the collection. “Lilas Exquis is a reference to one of the designer’s favorite color and flower, often used for his creations and accessories.” – a note from the brand.
Lilas Exquis was launched in 2017.

Odd, isn’t it, dear sniffers? Soooo much *hate* above for something that is made by one of the premier rising Stars of niche perfumery for a fashion house that got Givenchy and Guy LaRoche their starts not to mention clothing (and perfuming since the fifties!) the likes of Ava Gardner, Greta Garbo and Rita Hayworth (worth you looking these ladies up, my millennial friends, if you’re not familiar with real Glamour) and yet no one can (or will) say exactly Why.
I know for a fact the (now third iteration) newest of the Green Waters is stunning, from my small decant. A different Nose did Lilas Exquis, it’s true, but every scent I’ve tried from this house has been great. Every fragrance from Maffei has been a delightful revelation, and until either I try it or read some respectable reviews I’m going to ignore the feedback on this for now…
Suffice it to say this sounds like what I would imagine would be (osmagine) a nearly perfect soliflore. Hyacinth AND lilacs? Blueberries and angelica? Warm musky Oriental dry down? Um…yes, please!!
My unicorn sense (my higher self’s sort of third eye of scents) is shimmering; therefore, my guess is this will be a wish-i-woulda-knew-i-shoulda soon to be doomed Collection piece that will probably only appreciate in value. While we’re being mystical and dreamy why not wish for a 5 ml of each of the 8 Fath Essentials de Parfums in one Discovery Coffret??
Smell swell & be well,
