About Le 12 Victor Hugo
Le 12 Victor Hugo: Jacques Fath’s New Oriental-Woody Fragrance
Jacques Fath has introduced Le 12 Victor Hugo, a new fragrance created by Jean-Christophe Hérault and released in 2026. It is an Oriental Woody scent for both women and men.
The opening combines lavender, tonka bean and bergamot, before the heart moves into darker territory with lavender, spikenard and birch tar. The finish is deeply resinous, warm and faintly leathery.
What makes this composition so interesting is the way lavender anchors the whole structure. It reappears in the heart, where its clean herbal edge meets the earthy, smoky character of spikenard and birch tar, while bergamot and tonka bean soften the blend.
In the base, tonka bean is joined by CO2 extracts, benzoin, resin, ambroxan and Sinfonide. These materials deliver a smooth, powdery-amber drydown with a lasting trace of smoked wood.
The key accords are amber, vanilla, spikenard, leather, lavender, citrus and aromatic notes. That combination gives the fragrance an elegant tension between bright herbal freshness and a heavy oriental foundation.
At the moment, Le 12 Victor Hugo has an average rating of 3.75 out of 5 from four ratings. It is a small dataset, but the perfume’s character is already evident and worth exploring.
This fragrance will suit those who appreciate bold unisex compositions with an aromatic, resinous profile. It is particularly effective in colder months and at evening events, where its warm trail can be fully appreciated.
Le 12 Victor Hugo is a striking addition to Jacques Fath’s collection: refined, intense and quietly adventurous. An ideal find for anyone who wants a modern oriental with staying power.
