The easiest way to get Hedonist as high as 10 is probably to draw cards that let you hang around and enjoy the luxurious life with devils. At least until they get TOO serious about you, at which point you might have to snub them to get back to the level of intimacy where they're taking you out on lots of dates. Or, you could go shopping and buy 20 bottles of laudanum to get addicted to. If you're still in the middle of the game, completing a seduction of characters like the Provost, Barbed Wit, Acclaimed Beauty or Melancholy Curate (and sister) will also work (up to Hedonist 15, in some cases).
The suggestion of the Demi-Monde is a little iffy, since you have to become Closest To a particular school to go higher than 5 (and only up to 10), which is a very expensive thing to repeat.

Not to mention the Nibbles Tray at that party... Oh, dear god. THE NIBBLES.

Past 10, you either need to spend Fate, or still be at a point in the game where you have access to the Making Your Name trackers, the University terms, or the Empress' Court.
- Spend Fate: if you've completed A Trade in Souls and are either a Spirifer or a Shepherd of Souls, you can sell your soul to raise Hedonist over 10. And then get your soul back somehow. And then sell it again, to get as high as 15. Or you can spend fate to sell your soul at Hallowmas, or play singles croquet with the Quiet Devilless. The last is probably the cheapest. I think there are some highly-hedonistic Fate options during the Feast of the Exceptional Rose as well.
- Still Making Your Name: If you haven't gone all the way through the Persuasive, Watchful, or Dangerous trackers yet (the ones associated with qualities like "A Name Writ in Blood" or "A Name Signed with a Flourish"), the major checkpoints that raise those qualities will usually have at least one option that raises Hedonist above 10, although each can only be done once.
- University Terms: If you haven't gotten very far in the murder plot at the University, there is a carousel that cycles the Term Passing... quality. At the end of the carousel, you can seduce the Provost of Summerset, which raises Hedonist above 10.
- Ménage à Trois: If you pursue the Melancholy Curate and his Enigmatic Sister ardently enough (an endeavor only available at A Name Signed with a Flourish 3) you can have a dalliance with both of them, and even repeat that process as long as you don't go to the Ambassador's Ball. Similarly, if you gain access to the Empress' Court but refrain from getting banished, you can pursue both the Barbed Wit and the Acclaimed Beauty, and do naughty things with them on the imperial throne, which will raise your Hedonist above 10 and also get you sent immediately to the Tomb-Colonies.
- Dramatic Endings: I think there are a couple other Hedonist 10+ opportunities at the end of some storylines, such as the conclusion to the Once-Dashing Smuggler's tale, and In Search of a Stiff Drink. Surface Ties as well, although that's very low-level.
Here's the good news! You only need to do the above methods until you get to 12, which will take 5 repetitions. You can go from 10 to 12 for 10 Fate, for instance. At that point, you can get a Counterfeit Head of John the Baptist and start smooching it to go as high as 15. Those things are just lying around on the ground! You'll gain a ton of Scandal, but you can reduce the menace before you get shipped off to the colonies.

The Tomb Colonies are an easy way to get either Hedonist or Austere up to 10.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

Use Romantic Notions on the Opportunity Card Mr Wines is holding a sale. That will take you to 10.
You can trade the wine he gives you for honey in Veilgarden to convert back up to Romantic Notions.
