24 Faubourg (for women)
Designer: Hermes Olfactive Group: Chypre Floral
!24 Faubourg is named after the address of the Hermes flag store at 24 Faubourg in Paris. Created in 1995, 24, Faubourg is a reflection of luxury and femininity, with a composition that is based on rich flowers contrasting the dryness of patchouli.
Beautiful melody of orange blossom, ylang-ylang, and jasmine, wrapped into winy amber, hovering over a subtly orchestrated chypre accord. Earthy nuance of vetiver and woody-floral iris note are in contrast with the abundance of white flowers in the heart. 24 Faubourg includes notes of orange blossom, jasmine Sambac, ylang-ylang, iris, ambergris and vanilla.
24 Faubourg was launched in 1995. The noses behind this fragrance are Maurice Roucel and Bernard Bourjois.

My first perfume was the all time classics rive gauche and paris but growing up I wanted my own "signature". I had to smell at least 40 perfumes along with the assistant to exclaim "THATS IT!"
Its rich, alluring and above all has style. Even though it's a blasphemy to wear it with casual clothes that's what I'm doing for the past 3 years.
This perfume is a keeper... something like The One. When you smell it for the first time you know there is no turning back... I fell in love with this one and I highly recommended it to every real lady out there.

by looking at the ingredients, i should love this, but somehow irather dislike it. when a friend of mine sprayed it on me i got sick, maybe that was just a coincinence, but i still have an aversion.

this is warm, rich, sensual - quite sweet too. It's something I'd wear when wrapped in winter woolies - the warm scent would be perfect on a cold day for me. Not something I'd wear every day either - in fact more for evening. I think a little would go a long way as it could be quite overpowering if too much was used. Very classy fragrance!!

Hermes 24 Faubourg seems to me a classy fragrance. It has a fantastic chypre-floral scent composed mainly of white flowers.
The nicely balanced composition has top notes which are fresh and citrusy.The heart notes are those of white flowers mixed with orange blossom. What is left in the drydown is a light powdery oriental aroma of warm vanilla and pachouli.
This is not for women who are fond of sweet scents.Hermes 24 Faubourg is for women who like unique and sophisticated fragrances.
This complex and rich fragrance is very long lasting.So, be careful or it will be "too much"...
I don't think it is "old lady perfume" at all. It's a timeless classic...a beautiful and elegant scent, perfect for elegant evenings.

I smelled this recently, I suddenly throught of old perfumed letter paper or X'mas cards. The scent is memorable but it's kind of out-dated. I like the scent though but I won't wear it and make myself an aged scented X'mas card.

this is definitely classic,but not a typical classic one.I got some fresh fruity notes at the first notes,which is indeed interesting.if it wasn't because of ylang-ylang and hyacinth it would smell modern.
by the way it's reach of flowers with a nice sweet feminine smelling.softer and milder than normal classic scents,it can be wore in any time of day and year.
the heart of perfume is very romantic and like a bouquet of flowers which are inspirations of innocence.
Maurice Roucel has done a great job with making this perfume.he has proved that he can make classic perfumes with a new smelling too.

Bought it without testing - huuuuuge mistake, I was all rotten Jasmin, long lasting though. On my girlfriend it is just lovely. I guess then, as mentioned here before, Hermes fragrances pick their ladies, not the other way around. I like the bottle a lot, very elegant.

A ponderous heavy white floral on me. It is a bit suffocating in it's self-important, rich layering. I'm sure it works great on others, but it wears me like I'm the bus boy courting the tip from an elegant, rich and mean old lady.

I feel like a female in female drag when I wear 24 Faubourg, and I mean this in the best possible way. My husband’s first reaction was “mmmmm, Catherine Deneuve,” and I agree, all the while acknowledging that this is not the scent she markets. To me this is the essence of the well-groomed, urban French woman, sexy in a fitted suit, clicking heels and fresh lipstick. Still, I’m not that gal, so I don’t wear 24 Faubourg, but certainly appreciate it.

An echo of past era...
After all the positive reviews I nearly got it without even trying it on, since I couldnt really find it in any perfume shop in my town. Besides, I loved the notes. Luckily I got a sample from a friend before I finalised the purchase.
For me it is a smell of splendor, glamour, but it also smells of old leather furniture in a forgotten antique shop. A smell of old times. It is fascinating, but I would not be able to wear it.

Excellent perfume, I mean this is how a perfume should be. Starts off with jasmine and orange blossom, and when you think that it is a bit masculine and on the sharp side, you start to feel lovely amber and vanilla combination, but any of the notes are not overly dominating, rich, high quality, elegant.. Also the best use of jasmine in my opinion..

I think this perfume deserves being called a CLASSIC, I mean, I think all women should have it, it is so elegant, feminine, unforgettable, sweet, perfect for winter or fall evenings, completely suitable for a special occation.... flowers and patchouly deserve a special mention... it is so well mixed and combined that you can´t describe it... it is THE PERFUME

Classic, elegant and perfect for evenings out on the town. A subtle hint of Patchouli gets me every time!

Very elegant fragrance, I like it! I had a sample, very delicious and long lasting fragrance. Amazing:)

This is one fragrance that I love, but, one that I hardly ever wore. I ended up swapping it away, but I always loved 24 Faubourg. 24 Faubourg is the smell of rich fur coats, ornate antique furniture, slick expensive leather, and huge elegant flower arrangements. Very rich smelling!

This perfume represents for me the French elegance. The name of the perfume is perfect, as it is the address of Hermes in Paris. And I also agree with noor_jehan - about the garden in bloom type of smell - although I envision myself strolling in Jardin de Tulleries or in Jardin du Luxembourg on a nice summer evening, just before making my way to the opera.

this is one of my favourites as well. it was the only perfume ever in my life i wore for two years and not using any other for all that time. great, elegant, feminine. first time i smelt it i had an image of a beautiful romantic forgotten garden, in a back yard of an old hose, with gazebo surrounded by blooming flowers, roses, jasmine... a swing under the tree... like forgotten memories :)
