Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 24 Faubourg EDT
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.

Our Verdict - Chinatown EDP
Chinatown is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a polarizing, unique blend of spicy florals and creamy woods that some find enchanting and others, well, say it's more 'old lady' than niche.

Season and Occasion Fit

24 Faubourg

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

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.

Chinatown

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and distinctive, strong white floral and oriental accords make it a bit much for the office. However, these same qualities, especially the sensual woody-spicy dry down, lend themselves perfectly to date nights and formal events. It's a bold choice, but some reviewers find it versatile enough for daily wear.
