About Chasuble
Chasuble by Jacques Fath: An Oriental Floral Classic from 1945
Launched in 1945, Chasuble is a women's fragrance from the house of Jacques Fath, belonging to the Oriental Floral family. It is a rare treasure from the golden age of perfumery.
The scent opens with bright citrus and aldehydes, moves into a rich floral heart, and settles into a deep, animalic base — a beautiful example of post-war opulence.
The top notes are a lively mix of Calabrian bergamot, Amalfi lemon, petitgrain, wormwood, aldehydes and tarragon. This fresh, aromatic opening is both sparkling and green, preparing the senses for the abundance to come.
In the heart, Egyptian jasmine, Grasse rose, ylang-ylang, carnation and clove are woven together with Siam benzoin, frankincense, labdanum and myrrh. The effect is opulent, warm and gently spicy, with a delicious resinous undertone.
The base is profoundly sensual, featuring Mysore sandalwood, Mexican vanilla, Virginia cedar, Tolu balsam, patchouli and vetiver. Ambergris, castoreum, civet and musk add a raw, animalic edge that feels daring even today.
Oakmoss and styrax bring an earthy, slightly smoky nuance to the drydown. Accords of amber, wood, warm spice, aromatics, musk, citrus, balsam, powder, animal and earth all intertwine to create an unforgettable trail.
Chasuble is not a shy perfume; it has presence and persistence. Its evolution is slow and hypnotic, rewarding those who give it time. It stands as a monument to the grand style of classic French perfumery.
Perfect for vintage perfume enthusiasts and audacious noses who admire substantial, characterful fragrances. If you enjoy animalic notes and rich floral textures, Chasuble will captivate you.
Chasuble is an essential piece of perfume history. It combines elegance with boldness in a way that feels both dated and timeless — a true collector's item.
