A Passionate Homage: Vetiver Gris Jacques Fath
The inspiration for Vetiver Gris by Jacques Fath stems from a blend of reverence for the house’s legacy and a desire to bridge classic and modern perfumery. Perfumer Jean-Christophe Hérault, driven by admiration for Jacques Fath’s iconic Iris Gris, crafted Vetiver Gris as a respectful yet playful tribute. His passion project began with a focus on vetiver, an emblem of high-end perfumery, which he showcased on Instagram, catching the attention of Creative Director Rania Naim. Her immediate enthusiasm led to testing the fragrance in Corsica, where it won over her family and hotel guests, confirming its universal appeal.
Olfactory Notes
On my skin, Vetiver Gris by Jacques Fath opens with a vibrant burst of mandarin and bitter orange, evoking a sunlit citrus grove, crisp and invigorating, with a subtle hazelnut accord adding warmth. As it settles, the heart unfolds with neroli’s floral freshness, geranium’s green bite, and galbanum’s resinous edge, reminiscent of a lush, dewy forest at dawn. The base emerges with earthy Java and Haiti vetiver, grounded by powdery iris and Sinfonide’s musky depth, conjuring a refined, timeless elegance—like a tailored coat worn on a cool evening. Each stage feels seamless, sophisticated, and alive.
