/fa/ - Fashion

So I've went through all of my Jacques Fath Essential line samples. They're definitely worth testing and you can get the sample set of 12x2ml samples for 17EUR from their website, so give it a go. Here are short reviews starting from those that I liked the most and gradually moving to those I liked the least. Keep in mind that I obviously liked the more masculine ones more but all of them are quality but I wouldn't personally wear Red Shoes or some other more feminine scents. Treat the ordering rather as 'what am I closest to buy a bottle of'.
>Bel Ambre
Very snice amber of the milder (but not too sweet) kind. More DS Durga kind of Amber than animalic Ambra Aurea.
>Vers Le Sud
Vers Le Sud is a lovely aquatic fig fragrance with a big dose of ambroxan. It wears like a non-obnoxious crowdpleaser like Sauvage but unlike Dior it's really snicely balanced out. The aquatic feel of it is built around some pleasant green notes and saltiness so it doesn't smell neither trivial nor like a hardcore sea-like scents like Acqua di Sale or Fathom V. Really safe, fun but classy scent. I'd highly recommend it to everyone who loves fig or just wants some easy to wear but non-routine nor overplayed warm weather scent.
>Green Water (2016)
It's an interesting one, I get the classic citrus+neroli fresh accord as known from Neroli Portofino but it's mixed with a lot of mint and some deeper woody-spicy notes giving it more substance. It feels very chypre-y and in a way it reminds of Azemour Les Orangers. Caraway gives here a BO-like vibe just like in Azemour Les Orangers. Apparently it's a recreation of a Fath's classic under the same name from 1947 where they decide to don't have any budget limits for ingredients.
>Tempête d’Automne
Very creamy sandalwood with spices with a sprinkle of florals and fresh citruses on top of it.
