34 Boulevard Saint Germain
34 Boulevard Saint Germain by Diptyque is an unisex eau de toilette in the niche price tier. The house lists its notes as oakmoss, blackcurrant, amber, patchouli, rose and cinnamon, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
