34 Boulevard Saint Germain Eau de Parfum

34 Boulevard Saint Germain Eau de Parfum is a floral fragrance from Diptyque with a strong spicy streak, plus some sweetness and woods and a little amber and citrus. It was released in 2018 in eau de parfum concentration and is worn by anyone.

Citrus, black currant and currant leaf open it with a tart, green and fruity brightness, while pink pepper adds a sparkle. The spice then takes hold: cloves and cinnamon bring a warm, festive heat. Flowers soften this heart, with rose, geranium and tuberose giving a full, slightly old-fashioned bouquet, and iris and violet a powdery smoothness. The base settles into sandalwood, amber and vanilla, warm and gently sweet.

The clove and cinnamon make it especially suited to autumn and winter, for evenings, dinners and cultural outings. It will appeal to someone who likes spiced florals with a sense of history and character, rather than a simple fresh bouquet.
