Jacques Fath Yang is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1999. Yang opens with Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Green Tea, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Violet, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Jacques Fath's Yang carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

A fascinating, divisive scent, Yang has gone through so many reformulations and re-releases it's hard to pin down. Expect a complex, evolving tea-based fragrance with surprising sweetness; a real bargain if you find the right version.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a zesty burst of grapefruit and mandarin, softened by the subtle, clean aroma of green tea, Yang quickly evolves. The heart introduces an intriguing blend of earthy vetiver and delicate violet, spiced with a prominent cardamom note. As it settles, a creamy base of warm sandalwood, dry cedar, and soft musk emerges, creating a nuanced and ever-shifting experience.
