Jeu Des Omnibus Et Dames Blanches by Hermès was the very first scarf created by the House in 1937,and depicts a board game popular at that time; it is in Maurice Hermes’ permanent collection.
Jeu Des Omnibus Et Dames Blanches, circa 1937
The new scent, not unlike the iconic scarf, where the pattern has been updated is more modern. (Maurice Roucel explained in my interview with him, that the original 24 Fauborg took five years to create). Now, M.Roucel and Bernard Bourjois, the perfumers “playa new Hermès game”, introducing a brighter and lighter take on the original.

Editor's Note: Is it a coincidence that 'SOTD' is an acronym for both scarf and perfume( 'scarf of the day' to an Hermes collector and that 'scent of the day to a perfumista)?
