Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 34 Boulevard Saint Germain EDP
Olivier Pescheux’s ode to Diptyque is divisive, a complex spiced cocktail that evokes old-world charm for some and a dusty potpourri for others. It commands attention and isn't for the faint of heart, an acquired taste for the discerning nose.
Statement
Our Verdict - Classic 1920 EDT
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Bois 1920 Classic 1920 is a unique spicy-fruity-aromatic blend that some absolutely adore for its refinement and versatility, while others find the apricot-led fruitiness overwhelming or just a bit too odd. Definitely try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

34 Boulevard Saint Germain

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong sillage and complex, warm spicy profile, this scent is better suited for occasions where it can make a statement, like dates or formal events, rather than an office setting. While some find it appropriate for daily wear, the intensity suggests it's not ideal for casual or active situations.

Classic 1920

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal Sport

Its moderate projection and smooth dry down make it ideal for office and casual wear, as it's unlikely to offend. While not overtly formal, its unique character could work for some dates or less stuffy formal events, and it's fresh enough for active casual use, though not directly for sport.
