Jacques Fath Green Water is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015, created by Cécile Zarokian. Green Water opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Caraway, Clove, Basil, and Mint, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Oakmoss, and Ambergris. Jacques Fath's Green Water carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This modern reinterpretation of Green Water is a fresh, minty-citrus delight, though its fleeting performance divides opinion. It's either a high-quality, natural-smelling triumph or an overpriced, short-lived disappointment depending on your expectations and nostalgia for the original.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Office Date

Its intimate sillage and moderate-to-poor longevity make it suitable for casual, daytime wear and sport, where a subtle, refreshing scent is appreciated. While it's too light for formal events and might require reapplication for a full day at the office, its clean character works well for low-key encounters.

About

Green Water bursts open with a vibrant, zesty medley of bergamot, lemon, and orange, quickly joined by the bright, clean floral whisper of neroli. As the initial citrus sparkle settles, a refreshing wave of mint and basil emerges, entwined with the subtle herbal warmth of tarragon and a hint of clove. The dry-down reveals a soft, natural base of earthy vetiver and oakmoss, cushioned by a delicate musk and a touch of salty ambergris, providing a refined, lingering freshness.
