here the spark may jump over!
Despite my fondness for the world of "great fashion" and the good fortune to be able to accompany many of the famous couturiers since the sixties in time, I must admit that Jacques Fath was known to me only marginally.
So that had to change, because in addition to Christian Dior (who does not know him?) and Pierre Balmain, Jacques Fath is also one of the most influential designers of haute couture of the post-war period.
So I began to rummage and was sufficiently rewarded for it:
As an autodidact, Jacques Fath had "worked out" the extraordinary view as the cornerstone of his later success through regular visits to museums and exhibitions and the study of contemporary reading and magazines.
I can imagine, this "eye and sense food" has certainly also given him a lot of pleasure.
That he thus laid the foundation for the receipt of the "Fashion Oscar" in 1949, he certainly did not suspect at the time.
This man impressed throughout his life by his elegant appearance, was full of temperament and charm.
Very big-hearted, fun-loving and, moreover, endowed with the unfailing sense of beauty and luxury, he knew what women dreamed of and also implemented this knowledge in his eponymous company.
This company owned as students and employees later leading designers such as Hubert de Givenchy (think of the wardrobe for the elfin Audrey Hepburn), Guy Laroche and Valentino Garavani.
Names that are also known to us all for their dreamy fragrance creations.
The beautiful Margaretha Ley, the later founder of the label "Escada", was one of the top models of the house of Jacques Fath.
It is already worthwhile to look more closely at the life and work of this true artist.
"Chasuble", his first perfume appeared in 1945 and already in 1950 the company "Parfums Jacques Fath" was founded. So even today his name stands for beauty and sophistication in perfumes and always guarantees new creations in this field.
"Fath's Essentials - Bel Ambre" carries so much classic elegance and grace that I estimated it at the first contact temporally much older; namely at the latest in the "wedding" of the radiant fragrances, the seventies, eighties ansiedelte.
My surprise was perfect when I read here the year of publication.
"Bel Ambre" opens with a very nice bergamot nuance, underpinned by the freshness of lemon.
Black pepper, not too sparingly dosed, provides a certain fire in the fragrance right at the beginning; the juniper berry brings attractive spice. - Everything complements each other already here very well!
Iris butter - aha, what there is so much! - adds the fine fragrance of a certainly brightly blooming sword line.
Caraway spices with a slight glow and a little jasmine and tuberose certainly also belong to the "white flowers" so called in the local pyramid.
The light fire caused by the top note flickers now already quite alive in my senses.
The famous "spark" has already jumped: "Bel Ambre" now begins to shine!
So also the leather addition (otherwise always a little critical with me) harmoniously with the previous fragrance course; he is refined "spiced up", gaining so depth.
Vetiver grounded pleasantly and a musk-heavy embrace leads to the radiance of golden amber; the highlight of this fragrance creation.
Even I can enjoy this for a few hours; gladly, the fire that "Fath's Essentials - Bel Ambre" ignites in my senses could last longer.
So "the Spark in my Bonfire Heart" (to speak with the latest song by James Blunt, which is buzzing around in my head for hours) unfortunately loses itself quite soon.
This is a great pity!
And yet, the acquaintance with this fragrance is one of those that I would not want to miss.
He is so beautiful, so alive to me; I would be sorry if this beauty had passed me by!
So I thank Angelliese here for the generous bottling.

Briefly in own thing:
I had to read today that the perfume comments here are intended for analysis and presentation of personal fragrance perceptions and not to pass on anecdotes and "Histörchen".
Serafina asked some time ago, even in a blog, for tolerance; I would like to join her request.
