This is my moms perfume. I would say its bold, feminine, rich independent woman who would wear this. For me its a bit soapy, old, and strong on the florals. The dry down is where its at, it turns into gold, warm ambery note. This is not for the faint of heart. Maybe too mature even for me. Although sillage and projection is very good. For older women, this might be worthy to try

Named after the address of the Hermès flagship store in Paris, 24, Faubourg immediately me of moments of luxury, smooth leather and soft touching. The abundance of good taste is hearty and delicious. 24, Faubourg avoids the overwhelming scents, toning down the decadent richness of florals with the dryness of patchouli.The indolic confection of orange blossom, ylang ylang and jasmine is wrapped into the winey layer of amber and suspended over the subtly orchestrated chypre accord. The woody floral notes of iris and the earthiness of vetiver provide a beautiful counterpoint to the unabashed opulence of white flowers blooming in the heart of 24, Faubourg.The sliding beauty of the composition has a well planned graceful aura. It combines well with a simple t-shirt ... MoreNamed after the address of the Hermès flagship store in Paris, 24, Faubourg immediately me of moments of luxury, smooth leather and soft touching.

The princess perfume from what I understand...First off, this is a Beauty of a feminine fragance, with a capitol W for women. It is beautiful, sensual, warm, longing, intoxicating all at the same time. Pure feminity in a bottle and incredibly sexy.The woman who wears this is gorgeous but requires a sensitive and featherlike touch to be seduced. She is elegant and playful, making her seem almost out of reach.As for the fragance itself, its a gorgeous floral, it's semi sharp, bittersweet, with warm vanilla and sandlwood combination. These are notes I perceive. This fragance is soft and it lingers, perhaps what a woman's scarf might smell when she unwraps it off her neck.If this was in fact the scent that Dianna left a trail of wherever she went , it more than ... MoreThe princess perfume from what I understand...First off, this is a Beauty of a feminine fragance, with a capitol W for women.

Complex, classic, classy. You want to smell expensive? Luxurious? Mysterious? This is the way to go. Warm spices and florals make this combination truly unforgettable. With notes of orange blossom and jasmine balanced with sandalwood and vanilla, you will be turning heads with this fragrance everywhere you go! The bottle is stunning, though it does have sharp corners, so please use caution.

To me, this opens very like Chanel No 19, at least on my skin. It’s a very beautiful, sophisticated white floral with an absolutely heavenly dry down. Silage and longevity are both excellent. I think it’s quite timeless and versatile. Can be worn day or night, casually or in more formal settings. Seems to bloom better in colder months. Plenty of bang for your buck, as one or two sprays are more than ample to last many hours. Smells like freshly cut white flowers when it settles. Just gorgeous.

I'm not gonna lie...was I intrigued about this scent when I read that Princess Di loved this perfume? Yup, you bet your tiara I was! This is a VERY heavy scent, you need to know that upfront. If you gravitate to light, breezy, florals this isn't the one for you. If you want to try something in the Hermes line I suggest you try a sample of Twilly, which is actually my absolute favorite perfume from Hermes, but back to 24. It was named after the Hermes Flagship store and released in 1995, it's notes of orange blossom, ylang ylang and jasmine are the lighter notes and the depth of the amber combines beautifully with the floral notes of iris and the earthiness of vetiver give this iconic scent distinct fragrant notes that anyone will recognize if they are familiar with ... MoreI'm not gonna lie...was I intrigued about this scent when I read that Princess Di loved this perfume?

To me this is a very mature scent, does that mean someone who is 18 won't like it? Definitely not, but it's just the word and image that comes to mind when I smell it. This is a jeans, white cotton shirt scent and also a very buttoned up business suit scent. It's a day time and nighttime. It is strong as I said in the beginning - this may not be the best fragrance for the work environment if you have co workers who are sensitive to scents. Because this is such a very unique and strong scent I suggest trying it before you buy it, wear it and see how it dries down on you. Sadly I've read too many reviews of people who bought it based on all the 5 star reviews and hated it and couldn't return it. This is a fragrance you'll likely love...or hate. It's on the higher end of price point so I do strongly recommend trying before you buy. I'm not disappointed I bought it, it's not my favourite scent but I do love it from time to time and I do love and appreciate it's complexity and it's history.

Most floral fragrances these days are very kitschy, very sweet and difficult to wear. 24 Faubourg is not one of those fragrances. There is a light sweetness in the background but the floral notes stay solidly in the foreground. Smelling this reminds me of standing in a large flower garden during the Spring while all the flowers are in bloom. It gives one a calming and reassuring vibe. For those that say this smells like an old lady, there is no such thing as an "old lady scent", only memories of adult women wearing these type of fragrances when you were a child. You may wonder why this fragrance has such an odd name, well Hermés is located at 24 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris, France. Notes: Top Notes: Bergamot, Hyacinth, Orange, Peach, Ylang-ylang.

Get it before it disappears from Sephora's shelves!

I love this cologne for my husband. It's the PERFECT smell that you WANT your man to smell like. The packaging is simple but classy and manly at the same time. The price is extremely fair and very affordable. The smell lasts all day long. This cologne has been a favorite for many years. When my husband walks into a room after putting some of this on and I smell him it sends a sense of pleasure and lust right through me. I will never get tired of smelling this on him. This will always be one of his classic go to colognes. I would absolutely recommend this and I will also purchase this again in the future many times.

As always a great parfume

Great parfum with a great price tag. .As always Hermes offers great quality products. My wife’s favourite winter parfume

Expectations...

So many expectations for 24 Faubourg.First sniff: bitterness. Caught aback, I smelled closer and decided to wait for it to develop. The orange, which starts bitter like orange peel (bergamot sure must be involved here!), and proceeds to a grow into a true, realistic orange, is ever present until the dry-down, bathed in warm amber, harmoniously blended with orange blossom. To my disappointment, the gardenia is less pronounced than I expected, while the hyacinth was constantly lingering in the background. True gardenia is a rare find in perfumes, and sadly 24 Faubourg didn't impress on that note. Iris appears is quite pronounced in the middle, giving off a powdery vibe with whiffs of ylang, black elder and a barely noticeable jasmine, though these come off ... MoreSo many expectations for 24 Faubourg.First sniff: bitterness.

The base is quite pleasant, though nothing extraordinary, but it blends beautifully with the rest, leaving an all-over warm, elegant and luxurious smell.Most definitely a day scent, although it would also be fitting for classy evening wear or a special occasion. On me, it sits quite close to the skin, I can't smell it unless I touch my nose against my wrist. It is also barely noticeable now, after less than two hours after application. A reformulation, perhaps?Nonetheless this is worthy of being my new signature. I just can't get enough of it. I've been stopped on the street while jogging, and been followed by a guy to ask me about my perfume. (He described it as smelling of "lust". Creepy encounter altogether, but if 24 Faubourg can provoke such reactions...) The house of Hermes doesn't disappoint. Keep in mind, this is a scent for lovers of orange, orange blossom and gardenia. Crisp, clean, orange-white smell, perfect for daywear and special occasions alike. Regardsless, it's pricey - buy the tester before you head for the big bottle!I am in no affiliated with fragrancex or Hermes, or anyone for that matter. I wish I were compensated for this review, but alas. I'm just a perfume hobbyist. Happy shopping.
