The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013 by Hermès, 24 Faubourg Chaine d'Ancre is a chypre floral that captures the essence of the brand’s refined elegance. The fragrance opens with a bright citrus note from bergamot and orange, which contrasts beautifully against the rich, sweet heart notes of ylang-ylang, hyacinth, and jasmine. This harmonious blend leads to a warm woody base anchored by sandalwood, patchouli, and vanilla, creating an enveloping warmth that feels both comforting and sophisticated.
This fragrance blooms slowly over time, so apply it to pulse points for a steady release throughout the day. A single spritz will suffice — the base notes are long-lasting and provide a subtle warmth that lingers close to the skin.
