The matter with number 34
If scents cause enthusiasm, one should also tell about it and share the enthusiasm with others.
If you are not at all interested in the comments on Dufthaus etc., you are welcome to skip to the fifth paragraph!
Actually, I wanted to say a few sentences about a completely different fragrance and actually it's already finished, but first of all it's always different and secondly, it's not what you think anyway.
Now a very extensive assortment of selected trial samples came to me in a very extensive bag, there was also some of Diptyque in it.
I admit that the name had been known to me for quite a long time and that I have encountered one or the other nice fragrance from this house from time to time in my circle of acquaintances, but I have never possessed a diptyque fragrance myself
The Diptyque House, based on the Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris, was founded in 1961 and initially sold fabrics, furniture and English fragrances. In 1963, specially designed scented candles were added to the range. From 1968 onwards, the company's own fragrance creations were also offered, which proved to be quite successful. In the course of the years, room fragrances and soaps completed the assortment.
Now I have been a little busy with the series that bears the number of the parent company in Paris (34 Boulevard Saint-Germain EdT and EdP, both of which I like very much, the EdP even a bit more) and in addition to that I have now added the wonderful L'Eau du Trente-Quatre, so once again the 34th
Designed by Olivier Pescheux, who has been and still is quite busy working for various fragrance houses. And I notice that I also like some of the fragrances from his hand or that I even had/have had some in my possession.
Amongst others he created the very well known and polarizing One Million (yes, exactly that!) as well as various flankers, the fragrances sold at H&M, such as the wonderful Makassar Patchouli or for Yves Rocher some fragrances, he also created fragrances for Azzaro, Jil Sander and Davidoff.
But some things fly a little under the radar, as I think and deserve a closer look.
Therefore I am a little bit surprised that nothing else has been written about this beautiful fragrance except some statements.
So let's change that.
L'Eau du Trente-Quatre is an exceptional fragrance that skilfully combines very tart citrusy aspects, herbaceous influences, woody notes and spices to create a very coherent and harmonious whole.
Right at the start, bitter oranges and grapefruit, which are spiced with nutmeg right from the start, make themselves felt. Herbaceous-green impressions are added, a little lavender accompanies, verbena gives a certain light severity. A touch of floral is added after a while, tuberose seems to have been used here only in very small doses, it is not very noticeable. The rose geranium comes out a little more, but does not push itself too much into the foreground.
The fragrance remains spicy and green. When the citrus notes have receded somewhat, a warm woody note develops, beautifully balanced. Patchouli and a hint of incense round off the fragrance and give it a certain depth.
L'Eau du Trente-Quatre seems to me warm, friendly, attractive and quite complex, with a very nice flow. The fragrance is not loud, it rather strikes calmer tones, but this fits perfectly here.
A certain classic touch cannot be denied, but I am far from calling the fragrance old-fashioned. It most certainly is not This fragrance belongs to the class of timeless fragrances, which work just as well today as they will in 10 years.
And I cannot deny a distant kinship with Elizabeth Taylor's Passion for Men. I don't want to claim that they are fragrance twins, but I can establish a certain basic relationship. Although the Diptyque is more subtle and complex. But both have this warm woody spice in common and the nutmeg note runs through the whole fragrance.
I find the durability quite decent, about 6-7 hours are in it, it becomes quite fast skin-close, which makes it very suitable as an office fragrance.
Fields of application are actually unlimited, whether as a leisure fragrance, as an office fragrance, whether in a suit or as a nature boy. With L'Eau du Trente-Quatre one cuts a good figure in any case.
I myself perceive the fragrance as more masculine, but that should not be a limitation of recommendation. If the overall package is right, then the fragrance will also fit, no matter which gender is accessing here.
And the number 34 seems to be a very good number in any case.
For me, L'Eau du Trente-Quatre is a very wonderful fragrance, which I can definitely give a green colouring, but here and there some yellowish and orange speckles flash up and give the fragrance light and warmth. And he has the potential to be a potential buyer with me. Even if I keep my recently strictly self-imposed acceptance stop for now.
But sometime is also Christmas, birthday or any other nice occasion.
I thank Ergoproxy very much for this really beautiful fragrance experience.
