L'Eau du Trente-Quatre Diptyque 2013

The fickle summer has now decided to put an end to its bad mood and is finally trying to appease us with a few nice days. And it succeeds quite well. Somewhat taken aback by the kindness, I also reach for the cheerful and light-footed summer fragrances in my collection in the last days of September.
The house of Diptyque has a lot to offer us - smart, soapy flowers, rose petals, green stems and leaves. And so, with the smart "L'eau du Trente Quatre", the master of almost everything, Olivier Pescheux, has composed an unmistakable, light fragrance with a lot of character, a typical Diptyque perfume.
The first impression is bright, fresh and somewhat cool, even a little distant. I suspect white flowers and geraniums and a lot of light and dark green.
Soon creamy tones are added and memories of clean-smelling soap lather, of the washing lines stretched across the courtyard, hung with freshly laundered shirts and fabrics fluttering in the sky blue.
Mother's laundry day ... Mecklenburg ... Early seventies ... Childhood
Not far from the laundry area, the garden in the courtyard with a currant hedge and lots of green rustling. In the evening, the smell of warm wood from the garden bench against the house wall.
Intense, open-hearted, clean, green and the bitterness of the first days of fall - that's how I experience and enjoy this special scent. And it took some experience to recognize the beauty of this fragrance.
