Jacques Fath Parfums × Ofelia Botella

The Art of Fath’s Essentials

Celebrating 10 years of creativity, color & fragrance

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Fath’s Essentials Collection, Jacques Fath Parfums invites illustrator Ofelia Botella to reinterpret the Maison’s fragrances through her distinctive artistic vision.

An encounter between two creative worlds, where the artistry of illustration meets the expressive spirit of haute parfumerie.

Jacques Fath x Ofelia Botella, Fath's Essentials Perfume Collection

A decade of creative expression

2016 — 2026

First introduced in 2016 under the artistic direction of Rania Naim, the Fath’s Essentials Collection was conceived as a contemporary expression of Jacques Fath’s creative legacy.

Inspired by the couturier’s vibrant personality, distinctive style, and boundless imagination, each fragrance embodies a different facet of his universe.

Ten years later, the collection continues to celebrate the Maison’s enduring relationship with creativity, craftsmanship, and artistic freedom.

When illustration meets perfumery

An Artistic Collaboration with Ofelia Botella

Drawing inspiration from Jacques Fath’s couture creations and the distinctive character of each fragrance, Ofelia imagined a series of feminine silhouettes, translating scent into color, form, and movement.

Working with watercolor and the wet-on-wet technique, she allows pigments to flow freely across the paper, creating delicate transitions, fluid shapes, and unexpected details. Each illustration emerges through an intuitive process, capturing the individuality of its corresponding fragrance.

The result is a collection of illustrations where the worlds of couture, perfumery, and watercolor come together in a contemporary tribute to Jacques Fath’s creative legacy.
