Canasta by Jacques Fath c1950

Canasta by Jacques Fath: launched in 1950. Named after the popular card game.




Fragrance Composition:



So what does it smell like? It is classified as a fruity aromatic chypre fragrance for women with a sweet woodsy base. made up of 52 individual essences.
  • Top notes: aldehydes, bergamot and peach
  • Middle notes:  herbs, labdanum, heliotrope, tuberose, cherry liqueur and plum
  • Base notes: sandalwood, suede, oakmoss, patchouli, vanilla, vetiver, amber


Femme, 1950:
"Fifty-two different essences are said to be included in the composition of Canasta, the latest perfume from Jacques Fath. Such a complicated dosage does not make it easy to discern the dominant note of this new very Couture scent. Besides, what's the point of trying to recognize it? Isn't it enough to use it with pleasure and success? Canasta adds to the new color the appeal of an ultra-modern, warm and persistent aroma."

Combat, 1952:
"Fifty-two - it takes fifty-two weeks to make a year and God knows it flies by! It takes seventy-two cards to seduce luck and nothing is more fickle!...It took fifty-two different essences for Jacques Fath to create an atmosphere, an elite atmosphere, of true refinement, of subtlety. elegance. This complex is called "Canasta" and it is a brilliant, modern, unexpected perfume whose style flourishes in the revelation of particularly new scents. The favor he found, from the outset, with the most difficult women, the most picky about the quality of the perfumes they use, is sufficient proof that with "Canasta" Jacques Fath plays and wins."




Fate of the Fragrance:


Discontinued, date unknown.
