THE FRAGRANCE
Jasmin de Toscane by Jacques Fath
This fragrance by Jacques Fath revolves around a unique Jasmine, Jasmin Sambac Grand Duc de Toscane, used for the first time in a perfume. It emanates a fresh, honeyed allure with a captivating scent.
While the creation of Vetiver Gris, the perfumer’s first fragrance for Jacques Fath Parfums, was driven by his own pursuit of the house and vision for the scent, Jasmin de Toscane tells a different story. This time, it was Rania Naim, the Creative Director of Jacques Fath Parfums, who introduced the perfumer, Jean-Christophe Hérault, to this unique Jasmine, the scent of which perfumed each of her trips to her childhood country. She brought a fresh flower back to Paris where Jean-Christophe discovered a very different and heady Jasmine Sambac that appears to have never been used in perfumery before.
This discovery inspired him to analyze the scent using the Living process, an advanced extraction method. Guided by a desire to celebrate Haute Parfumerie while offering elegant modernity, Jean-Christophe selected the finest Jasmine Sambac qualities, working with them in proportions rarely seen in contemporary perfumery. This high concentration of natural Jasmine Sambac gently transforms the fragrance’s color over time. Its hue shifts to embody more ambery shades, serving as a testament to the exceptional quality of the composition, a pledge of excellence for a truly remarkable scent.
First, the fragrance opens with fresh notes of Grapefruit Oil, Freesia, and Petitgrain Oil, bringing a bright and green start. Then, at its heart, three varieties of Jasmine—Indian Jasmine Absolute, Jasmine Sambac Absolute, and Jasmin Sambac Grand Duke of Tuscany—create a layered floral depth. Finally, the base offers a gentle warmth, blending the sweetness of Sinfonide, resinous Benjoin, and a hint of Hazelnut for a lasting finish.
