here the spark may jump over!
Despite my preference for the world of "big fashion" and the luck to be able to accompany many of the famous couturiers since the sixties, I have to admit that Jacques Fath was only marginally known to me That had to change, because besides Christian Dior (who doesn't 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 browse and was rewarded sufficiently for it:
As an autodidact, Jacques Fath had "acquired" the extraordinary view as the foundation for his later success through regular visits to museums and exhibitions and the study of contemporary reading and magazines.
I can imagine that this "eye and sensory food" has certainly given him a lot of pleasure.
That he laid the foundation for the receipt of the "Fashion Oscar" in 1949, he certainly did not suspect at that time.
This man impressed all his life by his elegant appearance, was full of temperament and charm.
Very generous, fun-loving and, beyond that, equipped with the infallible sense of beauty and luxury, he knew what women dreamed of and put this knowledge into practice in his company of the same name.
As students and employees, this company later owned leading designers such as Hubert de Givenchy (think of the wardrobe for the elfin Audrey Hepburn), Guy Laroche and Valentino Garavani.
Names, which are known to us all also by their dreamlike smell creations.
The beautiful Margaretha Ley, the later founder of the label "Escada", was one of the top models of the house Jacques Fath.
It is worthwhile to take a closer look 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 refinement in perfumes and guarantees new creations in this area.
"Fath's Essentials - Bel Ambre" has so much classical elegance and grace in it that I estimated it much older at the first contact; at the latest in the "wedding" of the radiant scents, which settled in the seventies, eighties.
My surprise was perfect when I read the release year here.
"Bel Ambre" opens with a very beautiful bergamot shade, accompanied by the freshness of lemon.
Black pepper, not too sparingly dosed, creates a certain fire in the fragrance right from the start; the juniper berry brings an attractive spice. - Everything complements each other already here very well!
Iris butter - aha, what there is so everything! - adds the subtle scent of a certainly brightly flowering sword line.
Caraway seasoned with a light glow and a little jasmine and tuberose are certainly also among the so-called "white flowers" in the local pyramid.
The light fire caused by the top note now flickers quite lively in my senses.
The famous "spark" has already jumped over: "Bel Ambre" now begins to radiate!
So also the leather addition (otherwise always a little critical with me) fits harmoniously with the past smell process; he is refined "pepped up", gains so in depth.
Vetiver ground pleasantly and a musk-heavy embrace leads to the radiance of golden amber; the climax of this fragrance creation.
Even I can enjoy this for a few hours; I would love to see the fire that ignites "Fath's Essentials - Bel Ambre" in my senses last longer.
So "the Spark in my Bonfire Heart" (to speak with the latest song of James Blunt, who has been buzzing around in my head for hours) loses itself quite soon.
That's very sad!
And yet the acquaintance with this fragrance is one of those I wouldn't want to miss.
He is so beautiful, so alive for me; I would be sorry if this beauty had passed me by!
So here I thank Angelliese for the generous bottling.

Short on my own account:
I had to read today that the perfume commentaries here are intended for the analysis and representation of personal scent perceptions and not to pass on anecdotes and "histories".
Serafina asked for tolerance some time ago, even in a blog; I would like to join her in her request.
