This is a lighter and fresher version of the famous 24 Faubourg. The fragrance is a balance between the old and the new, original notes. Despite the similarities with 24 Faubourg, this is a completely new perfume. Orange blossom, jasmine, geranium, raspberry leaves and bay leaves are in the top notes. The base is made of sandalwood and musk. The perfume was created by Jean-Claude Ellena in 2003.

How can a fragrance be so rich and delicate at the same time?
I think I've found my perfect jasmine....After indolic and heady journeys,
I feel an exhale of ecstasy and an inhale of serenity...
Well, it's sort of a soliflore-type, but never too strong and it holds on better than that...
24 Faubourg Eau Delicate has all of the
class and allure of the original,
but none of the patchouli!-and being a completely
different fragrance-it outshines the original, for me! This transparent
"minimalist" fragrance is not difficult in any way-if you like the smell of white flowers-gentle, radiant, with their freshness and soft floral
"sweetness" that isn't really sweet....

What victorious subtlety--a fragrance as warm as the skin it's meant for, just clean enough from the geranium and leaves to not smell like drying or crushed petals--baby-soft without powderiness,
sensual without muskiness, intoxicating, without sweetness or spiciness.
Eau Delicate is the rare joy of being tickled by the right person, in the cool
spring air, with just a touch of sun warming the skin-it's such a rare sensation to experience while wearing a "floral" fragrance.
That tickled tendresse makes me forget the typical aggressive nectar-whippings and sharp, soapy,
sweet powerhouse affairs that elicit smiles for being floralesque-for a moment.
Or for a few hours-the lasting power is not poor, I would say it lasts about 5 hours, if not more-but the sillage is...ohhhh...delicate!

This perfume is dreamy. It makes me think of clear summer days sitting pretty on your back porch rubbing bare feet against the flourishing flowers climbing against the wood. Romantic and mature, but very natural. This is *actually* how a flower shop may smell like (the ones I've been in, at least).

The scent itself is VERY linear and easy to describe. Green. Floral. No woods, no spices, no animal notes, no aldehydes, no mess. Refreshingly crisp and clean. Straight-forward like eye contact. To my nose, the scent is dominated by geranium, with wisps of orange blossom, jasmine, and neroli. I don't detect the sandalwood at all, and it never gets overly musky. The scent is primarily smooth, balanced, and floral. Clean white petals dotted with dew.

24 Faubourg Eau Delicate, in my opinion, is reserved for mature women, no matter their age. Something about it is so peaceful, like a woman who is content with her feminimity and position in life. She is wise, confident, and soothing. She has "elegance" and "sophistication," but she doesn't look for it in a magazine, a pill, or a trip for botox. She is who she is.

I understand why this perfume may be called "boring" or "old lady," because 24 F ED is so unrepentantly grounded, peaceful, and mature. But I think it says a lot about the woman to be able to carry this one comfortably. I'd love to smell this on my mother, grandmother, or great-grandmother any spring/summer day. :)

I honestly don't understand genius of Jean-Claude Ellena at all! He mainly creates minimalistic-type perfumes with no mystery at all. Although lilly seems not to be listed in ingridients, for me it is all mono lilly-type smell. Quite bouring and inducing a headache.

I am back with a new critic review.
First I like to point out that all that reviews are purely from my point of view, I do no want to offend anyone or any taste.

This fragrance for me is ultimate granny wish for her retirement.It has a dusty old begining and a sour ending. I think most of men will be thrilled to wear this masterpiece (of course old men). I agree that this fragrance try to reproduce in an accurate way the naturals odors, but Hermes brand did not choose the best ingredients from nature.
About the original 24 Fabourg..it would be to hard to speak about the mother of this "interesting" fragrance.

Eau Delicate is completely different from the classic version! I hate "the old" 24 Faubourg, but I like the ED. It's a light, refreshing, floral fragrance, elegant and classy! Ideal for spring and summer, it goes well with floral-print-dresses and light colours. Better with dresses than shorts and t-shirts. It's also very natural, there's nothing soapy, powdery, chemical or plastic-like in it. Maybe a little bit cold to me, sometimes I feel it like a wind blowing in a crispy early mornig on March.

Does this smell like the original? I hope it doesn't because to me it(original) smells like Giorgio.

Well, looks like I'm the first bad review for Caleche eau Delicate! For some reason, on my skin this smells just like very strong celery seed. The lasting power (as in all Hermes scents) is incredible. This does soften after a long 4 hours, but to me not worth the hours of smelling like a spice jar full of celery seed.
