Fragrance Notes
24 Faubourg
Hermès 24 Faubourg is named after the address of the house's Paris flagship, and it was built to smell like sunlight rather than like flowers.
Orange blossom and ylang ylang open it together, both warm, both slightly honeyed, with no citrus to sharpen them. That decision sets the temperature for everything after.
Jasmine and iris form the heart. The jasmine adds richness and the iris a cool powder, and the two pulling against each other is what gives the middle its particular quality, golden but never cloying.
Sandalwood, patchouli, amber and vanilla finish it. The sandalwood is creamy, the amber warm, and the whole base glows rather than darkens. This is a solar floral in the French sense, and very few houses attempt it.
How 24 Faubourg wears
A fragrance that reads as polished rather than casual, and one that suits warmer weather better than most florals of its richness, precisely because there is nothing damp or mossy underneath it.
Hermès 24 Faubourg Eau de Parfum, launched in 1995 by Hermès, the Paris house founded in 1837.
