34 Boulevard Saint Germain Eau de Parfum

I never care about Diptyque fragrances except their candles because I tried almost all of them and none of them could impress me or had bad performance. Some of them are not bad but just not so niche to my nose, more like designer with linear profile, generic and very synthetic. They just don’t have unique characteristics. One day I was browsing at Nordstrom and I finally tried this 34 BSG EDP. Surprisingly I love it so much after 10 minutes of spraying it on my skin. I then loved it even more after it dried down. The initial spray was a little too much of the cloves but it toned down a lot after 10 minutes. It is super polarizing during the first 2 hours brighten up by the citrus, cinnamon and pink pepper. After 2 hours, it gets floral that supported by the woody and Amber notes. I usually hate floral dominated fragrances but this is so warm and cozy because of the strong woody and Ambery base that makes it less floral feel. The floral is not too standout or feminine to my nose. Also it has a quite complex profile among all others in the brand. Longevity I would say it’s decent. Last 7-8 hours on my skin. Super big projection during the first 2 hours but then it would just get much closer to skin quickly sharply after 2 hours, not the kind of fading slowly. I think it is suitable for warmer climate if you could wait for 2 hours after spraying then go out. Honestly, I still think this one is still quite synthetic. I can’t really detect any natural ingredients in any of the Diptyque but this one is definitely the most complex and unique one.

A saleswoman gave it to me as a sample after my purchase of Halfeti. She was beyond excited because she doesn't find many lovers of unisex, woody fragrance lovers, as she said, and wanted to share her favourite scents with me. Well, from Diptyque she gave me this and Tempo. While on paper Tempo seemed right up my alley, I didn't like it very much; it was too sweet and cloying for me. This one however wooed me from the first minute. Amazing spicy patchouli that manages to be both recognizable as patchouli and is also a modern and complex scent. I can't stop smelling my wrist; love at first sniff! Lasting power 6-8 hours tops, projection about an arm's length in the first 2 hours and then stays close to skin. That's pretty typical for a Diptyque EDP for me. Though I vowed to myself that I wouldn't buy another fragrance bottle in 2021, I don't think I can stay away from this for too long :D

This is a cinnamon, sandalwood, amber scent that's pretty well blended and skirts along the line of being too synthetic for me at times but it's also comforting. It doesn't quite feel designer synthetic, it's higher quality than that, but it doesn't smell like a full-blown niche release, either. I guess that's sort of Diptyque in a nutshell for me! It's extremely linear to me. It's all about that cinnamon and synthetic woods (including I'd guess a hefty dose of ISO-e). If you dig things like Bulgari Man in Black I suspect you'd really like this one. Longevity is solid on me skin at around 5-6 hours. Projection is about 2-3 hours. It's a 8.0/10 for me. Although my praise doesn't sound too effusive above, something in the mix of notes really calls to me and it largely replaced my Spicebomb/Man in Black use.

Just picked up my pre-order today! The sandalwood in this is totally different from Tam Dao, or the EDT. It’s creamier and I love the tonka bean berry combo. When I read pink berries, I thought maybe it’s actually pepper, but no it’s actually tart. I will come back and add more after I get to know it better, but first impression is that this is absolutely stunning! If you liked the EDT you’re in for a real treat, and like other Diptyque fragrances the concentration is not the only difference here. The notes above have not been adjusted to account for the changes in the new release yet, but I am very, very pleased with this addition to the line.

This is so artistically blinded, if you read the note breakdown it won't make sense but the actual experience does!! The 1st time I smelled it I closed my eyes, smiled and wispered: "wow" It is reminiscent of something classy and classic but still fairly modern, it's calming with the smooth amber note but still on-your face spicy, feminine with rose and iris but still masculine with woods and spices. It's whole olfactory experience captured in a bottle... I give it 10/10 but it is not for everyone, maybe that's why under-hyped in the fragrance reviewers community.

34BSG gives me a true cottagecore vibe. It's woody, with a bright peppery note and a hint of cinnamon. There's a softness of vanilla, though it's not overpowering. It feels both vibrant and bright, yet soft and calming. There's also a floral aspect to it. Like classic perfumes, you can sense the presence of many different notes, yet it feels modern. Despite the variety of directions the notes take, everything is well-balanced. I think it's a perfect all-season fragrance, with an ideal versatility for daily wear. Truly unisex.

Diptyque 34 invigorates the senses while calming the mind. Applied to me (female) it opens with a citrusy vanilla cinnamon, mainly spice. It mellows after a few hours into a gently spicy floral, bringing out the middle notes, but maintaining that spicy vanilla nougat in the background. On men, the pH changes the opening scent into a more masculine aroma, but I haven't experienced it after several hours -- I was stunned to smell the extreme difference. I have used it in hot, humid climates and air conditioning.

Love at first sniff. I don't find this generic; perhaps a little bit "perfumy" but it's such a delight to wear! Creamy sandalwood, spicy cinnamon and clove, warm amber and vanilla, and all expertly proportioned and balanced. Chic but approachable, modern but not avant-garde, strong but not overwhelming, and marvelously unisex. Better in cool or cold weather, and appropriate for a wide age range. Diptyque makes a lot of amazing scents, but this is one of the most reliable in terms of compliments and longevity.

Rich and spicy, this fragrance is not for everyone, you must be prepared to stand out--elegantly. I do prefer this EDP version to the other EDTs in the collection. NB: Diptyque also makes a stunning bar of soap in this collection -- it's 50g larger than their other soaps, and in my opinion, it seems harder-milled. If you like a gorgeous cake of soap, treat yourself to a bar of 34 -- heavily perfumed, creamy lather, and the "34" somehow stays faintly apparent as the bar wears down.

Thi is one of the Diptyque fragrances that I believe are worth the money they ask. It has depth and provide a beautiful scent journey and the perfomance is better than average certainly compared to other Diptyque fragrances. This scent was made for Spring, of course it could be worn in Autumn but it is perfect for Spring with those florals, they are nicely balanced out with amber and woods. Absolutely lovey ! :)

At first, this one didn't wow me, although I did find it very pleasant. After testing it a few times, I like it more and more. I get a lot more fancy shaving foam vibe from it than I expected. It also has a hint of sweetness, which goes well with the slightly spicy, slightly herbal, slightly woody, shaving foam vibe. Excellent cool weather fragrance. Edit: just ordered a full bottle 9/25/25

34 boulevard Saint Germain EdP has captivated me. It is superbly blended deliciousness with dynamic patchouli woodsiness and piquant juniper and soft rose. And there’s much more alchemy going on...I’m not able to understand it all, but I absolutely appreciate it! It is happily outgoing. It doesn’t play hide-and-seek with your nose. And thank goodness! Every single whiff is so divine.

I have read some reviews that its been discontinued which is wrong information. I just received my 75ml bottle today from Diptyque Boutique in Dubai Mall. It is still available and I did confirm with the regional manager of Diptyque in UAE who clearly rejected that rumor of being discontinuation in near future. This is a Love at first sniff and finally I got my hands on this gem.

My first niche before I knew what niche was, it’s a beautiful sandalwood that’s powdery and slightly sweet with vanilla and amber blending together. The longevity is excellent with it lasting on clothes for more than a day and at least 8-9 hours on skin and decent sillage about arms length. I don’t know much about fragrances or notes but this is beautiful and smells rich, 9.5/10.

34 Boulevard EDT came into my life after finding out my favorite fragrance maker passed away and wanted to see what other scents he had made, only to find this. If any scent were to be Olivier Pescheux's opus, this would be it. It's the most complex yet pleasant scent I've ever smelled and just gets better and better the longer you wear it.

This one makes me feel like a dame. It’s great for cooler weather and makes me feel like a notch above my regular self. It’s one of those perfumes that defines ‘perfume’, great presence without being overbearing and similar to Orphéon but doesn’t have the acridness which makes me sneeze. A classically well constructed fragrance.

One of my most complimented all time. It’s a lovely spicy sandalwood with some vanilla undertones. It’s an elegant scent with a beautiful sillage. I guess maybe 4-5 friends bought this after smelling it off me. It’s been appealing to all age ranges I guess, a friend who was in his mid to late seventies even decided to get it.

Yup...this stuff is definitely good. Stays close to the wearer, but others around can smell it. After about 4 hours I thought the scent was gone, but nope...received compliments from the two ladies behind me in the checkout line at the supermarket. 8.2/10

9/10 Une odeur merveilleuse, divine. Très agréable et élégant, super parfum, bonne tenue mais projection moyenne hélas, alors je ne le rachèterais pas car le rapport qualité prix est mauvais, pas dans ma Collection Signature.

To me this is divine scent. Yeah its a classic modern take with such a beautiful manner that it never disappoints me. Sounds luxuries and good for formal gatherings. Diptyque never disappoints me❤️
