The story behind the bottle.
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.
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.
