Jacques Fath, born in 1912 in Paris

Launched in 1950, Jacques Fath's Canasta is classified as a fruit chypre. "As I uncorked Canasta for the first time I was stunned by the vividness of the fragrance, including the zesty top notes. The body of Canasta is smooth and solid, quite plummy with a hint of Mitsouko-ish peach and something that makes me think of dark and fragrant cherry liqueur. It's not particularly sweet, and has that dignified elegance we tend to expect of French perfumes of that era. Canasta is as womanly as they come, cinched waist, silk hosed and meticulously gloved. The dry-down is wonderfully oakmossed, enough to send us all into a swoon. I think I also smell some patchouli, beautifully aged and almost smoky." The Non Blonde
