Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 34 Boulevard Saint Germain Eau de Parfum

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 - Blue Grass Eau de Parfum

This isn't just a perfume; it's a rite of passage. If you're a fan of big, bold vintage aldehydic florals, you'll adore it after a bit of patience. If not, best steer clear, as its powerful and unique character isn't for everyone.

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

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.
