Which Should You Buy?
A grand, sunlit bouquet of white florals and golden warmth, 24 Faubourg is timelessly elegant and unmistakably Hermès. It radiates old world glamour and polished confidence, enveloping the wearer in luminous, silken light.
Valiant is a masterpiece of a floral amber, though it's polarising. Many rave about its luxurious blend and exceptional quality, while others find it overpriced and unoriginal, smelling of "grandma's bathroom." Worth a sniff, if only to decide which camp you're in.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The lush white florals and citrus sparkle make it ideal for spring, while the rich amber, sandalwood, and vanilla base give it enough warmth and substance for cooler autumn days. Summer wear is possible in the evening due to its opulence, but its heft may be too much for heat.
Occasions
Its bold, elegant floral character and strong projection make it best suited for formal events, special occasions, and romantic evenings. While not too overpowering for an office, its richness and sophistication are less casual and not appropriate for sporty settings.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and distinct, luxurious aroma make it best suited for evenings and special events rather than the office. While some find it versatile enough for daily wear, its strength and cost generally reserve it for more impactful occasions.
