Hermes 24 Faubourg edp review

It has come to my attention that I have perfume I never reviewed on the blog! How did this happen? Never fear, I am going to fix this oversight! You will see me reviewing a few bottles over the course of this summer.

I purchased my first bottle of Hermes 24 Foubourg edp sometime in the 1990s. This is a classic woody floral from a time when leaving a trail was everything. If you use more than one spray, you will leave a trail with this fragrance! So, in modern times, one spray is perfect and makes this timeless fragrance as modern perfume can be. Love that!

Do you love a timeless woody floral? I sure do! Hermes 24 Foubourg edp offers a warm fragrance experience which is long lasting, classic, and comforting. The notes in Hermes 24 Foubourg edp include white flowers, orange blossom, and jasmine along with an amber and vanilla base. The result is outstanding. If you love a warm, woody floral, this eau de parfum is a must-have in your fragrance collection.

As a warm woody floral, I prefer Hermes 24 Foubourg edp in the fall, winter, and spring. But, it does work well on cooler summer days. This is a classic fragrance which can be worn throughout the year, and transcends the test of time and fragrance trends. Love that!

So, if you are looking for the perfect, timeless woody floral, look no further! Hermes 24 Foubourg edp is the perfect investment to wear now and forever. Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy National Nail Polish Day! This is such a fabulous day for us nail polish fans. We can use this day to add to our nail polish collections, polish our nails (of course!), and admire all the fabulous colors we can paint our nails with this summer season and beyond. Love!

Right now I am in love with all the fabulous nail polish colors for the summer 2025 season. I am loving shades of pink, and mocha, as well as the fun colors Hermes is giving us; especially purple. Love!

I am also a sucker for anything metallic, so the gold from Chanel is making me happy. Love it!

The Hermes spring summer 2025 collection is finally here! Since we are well into May, I was afraid Hermes wasn’t going to release any new colors for the warm weather season, but thankfully, they did! The new Hermes nail polish collection consists of six limited edition colors by Gregoris Pyrpylis, the Creative Director of Hermes Beauty. The collection is a collection of “shimmering halftone shades that speaks of a moment suspended in time, between the gentleness of spring and the onset of a scorching summer.” Perhaps this is why the collection was released in May!

I absolutely love this new collection from Hermes. The colors are vibrant and absolutely perfect. As you know, I tend to shy away from orange, but when Hermes does Orange, I fall in love. Orange Tulip is a beautiful, soft orange with slight blue undertones which makes it beautiful and easy to wear on a daily basis. Love that!

If you are looking for a classic nail polish hue you can easily wear to the office, Hermes Rose Papillon Irise is perfect. It is also a pink nail polish in stock! Which is hard to find right now since pink nail polish is flying off store shelves. You will absolutely love this one, Rose Papillon Irise is the perfect pink nail polish to invest in for the year, and beyond. It is a classic hue as well as a hot trend right now!

So, without further ado, here are the six new nail polish colors from Hermes. They are limited edition, so if you love one, act fast!

Hermes nail polish summer 2025 | Hermes Blanc Orage Irise

So, quickly I want to talk about Hermes Blanc Orage Irise. This is obviously a clear nail polish with slight sparkle. It feels more like a top coat to me. I tried to put it on alone and it just looked clear, so I went ahead and tried it as a top coat. It does not really show in my photos, but there is a little sparkle on top of the Hermes Jaune Pollen nail polish pictured above. I plan to use it this summer as a top coat, even though I think it is meant to be a clear polish.

I love all of these nail polish colors from Hermes for the summer 2025 season, but my two favorites at Hermes Iris Violetta and Hermes Vert Aqua. Love!
