Highly stylized elegance - With a wink of the eye
This fragrance has been with me for almost 10 years.
It is sometimes exhausting, because the flowers are so opulently carried by the base. The initial hyacinth note is very dominant. Allergy sufferers should test the fragrance in any case on a paper strip.
Ylang-ylang I smell out. The bergamot seems almost a little dusty and gives in this case little freshness, in a more distant sense rather a touch of soap.
24, Faubourg is not gimmicky in all its elegance, but you can tell there's a stylized concept behind the scent. I could picture it on Vivien Leigh, who wore Joy, by Jean Patou. Why Vivien Leigh? She looked like a lady and has been one, was from a good home and yet not a typical woman of her time- 16 hours a day working on the set of Gone with the Wind and fluctuating between fragility, intensity, melancholy and great energy. Sometimes brash; strong-willed, she embodied her roles with great individuality and passion. Today, hardly anyone is able to embody this ladylike elegance, but this fragrance gives a hint of it.
He is classic and wants to be so. It is good to wear it with a little self-mockery. One shouldn't mind being the center of attention. The projection is convincing for an Eau de Toilette and not to be underestimated. Still, it comes across as serious and its old-fashioned note not out of place. I don't like to assign it to an occasion; I've worn it to the theater as well as in the fall, alone, outside, walking. Somehow he fits into this season.
For friends of silence and meekness, it is probably rather not the right thing, but exceptions prove the rule. Something melancholy resonates, however, in the flower melange.
Gardenia and jasmine I can make out, as well as the orange blossom, which is here on the border of what can be perceived as stuffy. The gardenia is well struck for me. I used to own one, so I know the natural scent of the flower, which is a bit more animalic. The base is really warm and minimally earthy. Even, from a no bottle you will have something for a long time. The next morning you can still smell a kind of "afterglow".
I find the bottle inspired by the silk scarves of the brand fitting. He represents the concept. Just as a silk scarf can add a bit of femininity to a more functionally elegant outfit, this fragrance can interrupt the fast-paced routine of everyday life for a short time, only to blend in effortlessly later.
Thanks for reading. And possibly also much joy with the testing.
