Yang Imperial Jacques Fath, unveiled in 2009, is marketed as a masculine fragrance, drawing from the east family. One of the scents from the Yin Yang collection. In eau de toilette — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
The sillage is delicate — an intimate cloud that stays close to the skin. Longevity is on the low side — a good excuse to refresh it throughout the day. Brand country — France, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance has low persistence and lasts on the skin for about 2–3 hours, gradually fading and smoothly revealing its main notes
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Yang Imperial unfolds as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Jacques Fath is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Spicy, Fruit, Citrus and Whiteflower. The palette also extends to Floral, Wood, Sweet and Gourmet. From a family perspective the scent maps to East.
In the first seconds you catch cardamom-peppery first notes: Anise, Green Apple and Mandarin.
In the middle phase you detect Jasmine, Rose and Violet holding a velvety rose-iris direction.
The accord profile is driven by these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Fruit with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Wood and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In longevity terms Low indicates a stable lasting impression.
Overall Yang Imperial sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best judged on skin.
