You gorgeous scent, where have you been all this time?

I am satisfied with the fragrances I have. Many of them I love for ages. They are like loyal, longtime friends to me: Always there for me, they give me joy and security.

Actually, I am therefore not looking for a new perfume; am also no longer wild as in younger years, necessarily to find a great fragrance for me. Nevertheless, I like to sniff trial samples and bottlings. It could but times something dabeisein, which I like well and convinced me.

A very dear perfume regularly provides me with test spray, filled with the most beautiful, partly also most expensive fragrances, which she finds suitable for me. She now knows my taste very well and is therefore often very correct with their assessment, about which I am of course pleased. Through her I have already met some beautiful fragrances that I would never have found otherwise. Dear C., you know it's about you when you read this.

Yesterday I did not have such a good day. As that is sometimes so in life. Actually, not a suitable day to test new perfumes, but there is a risk that they might not like if the mood is attacked.

No idea why I reached yesterday afternoon nevertheless to the new PrΓΆbchen. Probably because they were still on my living room table and thus directly in front of my nose.

And so it happened that I sprayed 34 Boulevard Saint Germain Eau de Toilette on the back of my hand. I had no expectation and never dealt with Diptyque before; so approached the fragrance completely unbiased, and also read nothing at all about him beforehand. I always do so, because I want to make me, as neutral as possible and uninfluenced by statements and reviews, my own opinion on a fragrance.

The wonderful, balsamic soft-spicy scent immediately rose to my nose and I liked it right away. Such a thing does not happen to me often. Its balance and beauty overwhelmed me immediately. Thought to myself, however, I should not rejoice too soon and wait for the base note. The fragrance could still develop in a direction that I might not like.

But that was not so. He is for my taste just gorgeous, from the first to last nuance. Nothing bothers me, everything is harmonious and great balance. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect fragrance from the perfumer Olivier Pescheux, who created this fragrance beauty. I can't think of anything that could have been improved about it. It is such a great, soulfully conceived composition that could not have been more beautiful to me. Never would I have thought that my vintage favorite fragrances Tabu Eau de Toilette, Obsession Eau de Parfum or Opium (1977) Parfum could get competition again in this life.

Also, I did not assume to find again a real fragrance love, whose beauty and perfection overwhelms and touches me so.

We all know there are perfumes that you find great and also like to wear; with which you feel comfortable and satisfied. But there are only a very few fragrance creations that become heart fragrances, and on which you no longer want to do without.

For me, 34 Boulevard Saint Germain Eau de Toilette is such a perfect fragrance beauty that I inhaled it yesterday downright deep from the back of my hand. Every little nuance is right for me, and each of these notes delights me like a wonderful piece of music that goes to the heart. I have not smelled such a harmonious, appealing fragrance that immediately touches my innermost for a long time. The wonderful fragrance gave me a feeling of happiness and spicy-warm comfort on yesterday.

Now this does not mean that you, dear readers, also finds or must find this fragrance so beautiful. I have now read statements and reviews about him. He comes here generally very well away, and many users are taken.
But as is always the case, what I find beautiful and overwhelming, must not please you, and it is a rarity that a fragrance triggers such feelings.
I must confess: Almost moved me to tears by its artful beauty.

Therefore, I say my dear perfume friend C. again many thanks that she attached her fragrance mail to me 34 Boulevard Saint Germain Eau de Toilette, because she guessed that he could please me. Without her, I would not have had this beautiful little experience.

Some users attach a song to a review that they find appropriate and that comes close to their feelings that the fragrance triggers. I allow myself that exceptionally also times and link here a beloved piece of music by Nick Cave. Who likes, it can listen to times:

I can tell you where the fragrance was, among other things, in my collection. 😁 A great fragrance from Diptyque to which you have dedicated the same lines.

I also thought it was wonderful. But the spark was still missing for the bottle.
Inspired by your lovely review, I will now have to seek out the sample. :-D

What a lovely review...and especially your delight at the totally unexpected beauty and perfection of the fragrance.
"We all know that there are perfumes that we love and enjoy wearing, that make us feel good and satisfied. But there are very few fragrance creations that become the scents of your heart and that you can't live without"
That's exactly how it is!

I can only agree with you completely - I also approached the fragrance with an open mind and received a masterpiece of perfumery. Something like this was still missing in my collection.
Thank you for this beautifully written review!

I am also grateful that I did not immediately put this beauty in the "general Diptyque drawer", because as we all know, this brand and I rarely harmonize.
A soul-flatterer is this, a golden shimmering jewel of the perfume art.
Sometimes it is just the right moment: Yours was the day before yesterday!
How nice; I'm happy for you!

For me, one of the few grandiose diptyques. Wonderfully described.

Dear Floyd, you said it. The scent is terrific. Why didn't I think of that term? I guess I was worried I might be overdoing it with my enthusiasm.πŸ™‚

Thank you. The EdP is also so praised. For me, the EdT is enough for the beginning, because it smells perfect for me. Can the EdP be at all more beautiful?πŸ₯΄πŸ™ƒ

Oh how beautiful! :-) Yes, it's already great... And the EdP and the L'Eau to it also, all have slightly different tones, but are in the DNA of course highly related. I like them all and have them all in the meantime, from the EdT so a Traveldingens. Small downer: in the EdT & EdP it is me in the base a tick too fellig-animalisch-muffig unfortunately. But that's criticizing at a high level ;-)
