At Istanbul airport
What is obligatory for every Parfumo member at an airport? That's right, a visit to a duty-free shop.
After my holiday in Turkey, I recently came across this charming EdT. Indeed, at the airport of Istanbul I had a lot of time, because I had checked in (as usual) very early. So I used my time to pursue my passion in the duty free and test fragrances.
I saw the shelves of Hermès first and of course I was immediately drawn there. And when I saw this great bottle of 24 Faubourg, I just thought "Yay, finally I can test it!", because for too long I had had this ladies classic on the agenda.
[...]
I quickly grabbed the bottle and eyed it first. Briskly also a salesman came up to me and wanted to make me nevertheless rather Tom Ford palatable. In his cute English he tried to convince me:
"Sir, this perfume is for women. Let me show you Tom Ford perfumes, best brand ever.... You know Oud Wood?"
Hmm, ok. I smirked and smiled at him:
"I know sir, Tom Ford is the best man in world (He may have realized the irony from my wink).
"But I prefer classical French brands...
And I don't care women, men or alien..."
(There was already a more serious undertone here. From the look on his face, he must have interpreted it that way, too).
Friendly and polite he was nevertheless and he left me then also in peace. So I could test, among other things, this fragrance and was immediately very taken...
(In the corner of my eye, however, I saw how I was watched by him...).
[...]
24 Faubourg EdT exudes that classic charisma I so cherish and love, which I also find so great in women's fragrances. It has nothing youthful or girly about it, but is a thoroughly adult and ladylike fragrance. The prelude already shows with what one has it here on itself, and with a very self-confident and exquisite perfume.
It begins slightly fresh-fruity with for me clearly perceptible bitter and almost "Hermètypical" orange. This comes across very naturally, and like an orange that has been under the sun for quite a long time. I immediately felt good, as if someone would take you in the arm and say "come, everything will be fine...".
As it progresses, the classic floral bouquet takes over. The fragrance becomes floral, and in what I think is already an opulent, but not at all exhausting way. I notice the hyacinth in particular, which gives the perfume a beguilingly intense aroma with a slight sweetness. Every now and then, a hint of jasmine and gardenia fizzes into my nose as well. The fragrance remains but fabulously classic and retains its elegant seriousness.
The whole is rounded off to the base with oriental chords. Amber and vanilla ensure that it retains its sensuality. Here, the flowers also step somewhat into the background, but they never disappear completely. As before, I always get a hint of floral chords with.
[...]
I do not recommend too many sprays with this fragrance, as I think it projects strongly and fills rooms very well. The durability can also be seen on my skin with considerable 8-9 h.
He seems to me personally for cooler days in spring and autumn to be best suited. Discreetly dosed he is in everyday life just as well usable I think as for the evening hours, where I see him best.
[...]
After some time the salesman returned:
"Sir, you really like French perfumes. You only tested those ones. Here you have some samples... Have a good flight..."
In fact, he gave me a small bag with many different samples, including two of the 24 Faubourg EdT. Of course, I had zero expectation of this. How I was pleased...
I thanked of course artfully and left with a wide grin the store...
[...]
Conclusion:
My holiday was wonderful. Istanbul is a breathtaking city and I can only highly recommend it to everyone on occasion to visit. And that I was still so spoiled with this little sample gift, was so seen the icing on the cake.
Finally, I could test 24 Faubourg, whose name, by the way, goes back to the address of the headquarters of Hermès in Paris, namely 24 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. There is it also in each case in the EdP as well as perfume concentration, which I do not know both, however.
The EdT but is a beautiful, floral and slightly oriental, classic women's fragrance, which radiates an elegant, attractive and feminine aura with a lot of sparkle.
And when the enchantingly beautiful and style assured former Princess Diana (may the Lord rest her soul) called this fragrance one of her favorites, I think "yes, to a lady like her, it suits her perfectly..."
(to be read, by the way, in the book "Royal Duty" by Paul Burrell, her former butler, among others).
