Jacques Fath

Jacques Fath (1912–1954) was one of the Big Four of post-war French haute couture, alongside Christian Dior, Pierre Balmain and Jean Dessès. He opened his house on the Rue La Boétie in 1937, dressed Rita Hayworth, Eva Perón, Ava Gardner and Grace Kelly, and hired Hubert de Givenchy, Valentino Garavani and Guy Laroche as assistants before they became couturiers in their own right.

His perfumes — Chasuble (1945), Iris Gris (1946), Green Water (1947), Canasta (1950) and Fath de Fath (1953) — were created in the same years as his most famous couture collections, and the house's iris theme runs from Iris Gris through 2009's Irissime to L'Iris de Fath (2018/2023). After Fath died of leukaemia in 1954 the couture house closed and the name passed through a long series of fragrance licences (L'Oréal from 1964, Star Fragrance, Panouge from 2008), which is why bottles exist in several distinct generations.

This collection gathers the vintage and discontinued Jacques Fath bottles we currently hold in stock — each one photographed as it is, with its original gold or silver carton where present. Sourced from estates and collector collections, authenticated in-house, and shipped worldwide from Hong Kong.
