Launched in 2003 by Hermès, 24 Faubourg Eau Delicate is a fragrance that captures the essence of modern elegance. Created by perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, this scent balances fresh and aromatic notes with traditional white florals, resulting in a composition that feels both familiar and new. The top notes of orange blossom, jasmine, geranium, raspberry leaves, and bay leaves bring an invigorating freshness, while the musky sandalwood base provides warmth and depth.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — this fragrance has moderate longevity and sillage, so it will stay close to your skin throughout the day. It pairs well with a light sweater in the evening but is equally suitable for daytime wear.
Jean-Claude Ellena
Founding perfumer · 104 fragrances · French
As a disciple and close friend of the legendary Edmond Roudnitska (creator of “Le Parfum de Thérèse”), Jean-Claude Ellena began his career with a minimalistic approach to perfumery. Since then, he has developed this approach into his own distinctive style, which is continually informed by his elegant and quiet way of being, and has been compared by his contemporaries to watercolor sketches and chamber music. Jean-Claude says that a perfume must be like “a soft caress; nothing must shock, nothing must shout”.Jean-Claude Ellena was born in Grasse into a family of perfumers. His training began at age 17, in the most prestigious laboratories – in Grasse, Paris, New York and Geneva – where he always saw himself as self-taught. Roudnitska’s minimalism never left him, however, and his compositions remain focused around a single ingredient, avoiding repetition.

The story behind the bottle.
The crisp morning air in a Parisian courtyard, where sunlight filters through the leaves and the scent of blooming flowers mixes with the freshness of just-cut grass.
