L'Iris de Fath (Extrait)

Peach and iris often end up as a delicate powder; here, they transform into something grand, almost tactile, with dark moss beneath the surface. JACQUES FATH L'Iris de Fath (Extrait) showcases iris without restraint and without haste.

Neroli, petitgrain, and bergamot first ignite a green, citrusy light. A fluffy peach then enters between them, radiant and slightly gourmand, serving as a soft transition towards iris absolute and iris butter.

Iris is overdosed and presented through powder, wood, a violet coolness, and a dense, rooty texture. Grasse jasmine, Turkish rose, violet flower and leaf extend its color, while clove absolute introduces a precise spicy cut.

Patrice Revillard and Yohan Cervi did not compose a quiet study of a single flower. The Extrait relies on the richness of materials and the contrast of bright peach with the more serious, almost shadowy sides of iris.

Oakmoss absolute, sandalwood, and Bourbon vetiver gradually take on weight on the skin. Musks smooth the transitions, and Bourbon leaves a warm, dark nuance beneath the floral heart.

L'Iris de Fath (Extrait) comes in a crystal faceted bottle with a stopper and glass wand. Inside is an overdosed iris with peach, clove, and moss — a formula that demands a ritual of application, not a casual spray.
