What does 34 Boulevard Saint Germain (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Blackcurrant bud and rose give it a green, fruity, floral freshness. Cinnamon adds spice, while patchouli and amber build a woody, resinous, sweet base. The notes read as one blended whole rather than separate layers.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself felt without filling the room. Most voters pick fall, with spring and winter close behind and summer well back. Evening, leisure, daily wear and the office all draw similar shares. Masculine and feminine votes are close, and a classic character is strong too. Its profile is close to Diptyque L'Ombre dans L'Eau (Eau de Toilette) and Creed Fleurs de Gardenia.
