Jacques Fath Yin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1999, created by Anne Flipo. Yin opens with Rose, Iris, Peony, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, Cinnamon, Melon, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Clean Musk. Jacques Fath's Yin carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A wonderfully nostalgic scent that conjures up sweet, musky memories of being young and carefree. Yin is a pretty, delicate floral that, while perhaps not groundbreaking, is utterly charming and universally appealing.

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.

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

Yin opens with a delightful bouquet of rose, iris, and peony, lending a soft, floral sweetness that's immediately inviting. As it settles, juicy notes of melon and peach emerge, brightened by a hint of tart blackcurrant, before drying down to a comforting embrace of creamy sandalwood, vanilla, and clean musk. It's a gentle, unassuming fragrance that whispers rather than shouts.
