24 Faubourg Eau de Toilette

I have used this fragrance for many years. I recently ran out and ordered a tester edp from a seller on ebay. The batch code puts this at 2013. I can't believe how much this fragrance is now watered down. My last bottle was from '98 and a rich, deep gold color. It looked like it would be thick like honey, that's how deep the color was. This is light golden water. It looks …Read more

How can a woman not love this Gem? I absolutely adore it and I will never change it for any other fragrance. ????
Edit: edt

I had hopes for this because I had read that this is similar to a fragrance I like a lot, Boucheron for Women. I love Boucheron for Women but the bottle always looks so masculine to me, so I thought I would try this. I detect the woodiness and powdery notes of this, and not much else.

The bottle is of course prettier than Boucheron, but this to me smells nothing like Boucheron …Read more

I was looking for a new signature scent and found it in this one, having heard Princess Diana had this in her repertoire. I thought that since she had to toe the line in terms of not being overwhelmingly 'scented' in her social appearances, yet still smelling divine, that this one was worth checking out. I wasn't disappointed. It worked with my chemistry, mingling sensuously on …Read more

This review is for a vintage EdP from 2000. The first thing I would like to say is that this is the single most divine fragrance I have ever smelt in my life apart from L'Heure Bleue …Read more

Ugh! I am just now entering the world of scents and was looking for different perfumes for different occasions. I asked around for a fragrance that smelled elegant and sophisticated and this was recommended more than once. So much so, that I was almost about to blind buy it. Even the notes (citrus with floral) seemed to be something I would enjoy. I mean, even reading some of these would reviews …Read more

I discovered the EDP a few months ago while at Sephora. It opened quite loud and bitter; I didn't like it at all! All I could smell was loud bitter orange. The salesman insisted that I not worry. After a few seconds it started to settle into something softer and totally different. After a few minutes it was a different perfume. Soft but strong at the same time. ***It is a very creamy floral …Read more

I first smelled Hermes 24 Faubourg in 1998 in Freeport, Bahamas at a lovely boutique. My girlfriend purchased it but I purchased Blue Boy Picasso fragrance instead. I purchase my bottle of Hermes in 2007 for spring, summer and early fall day and/or night time. Now, I really appreciate the lovely medium soft scented tones that last all day. One thing I have learned that American women do not wear …Read more

Maurice Roucel at his poetic best. A voluptuous symphony of jasmine, orange blossom and woods. This is not a shy beauty but it is not at all vulgar. You need self assurance to wear this and a sophistication which does not depend on age but on intelligence. Absolutely lovely and classy just like Princess Diana who apparently loved it.

dreadful putrid headache inducing nausea in a beautiful bottle. I guess I just do not have a so called sophisticated nose for fragrance because how anyone could even claim to care for this is beyond reproach. It smells like pure chemical.
