Diptyque - 34 Boulevard Saint Germain - scented candle
The oval emblem of 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain is engraved in a white bisque porcelain pot. The signature Diptyque fragrance emanates from the three candle wicks. The fresh, green, and unusual scent of moss and crushed blackcurrant leaves blends with floral notes and oriental spices, underscored by multifaceted, warm wood and balsam nuances.
Diptyque - 34 Boulevard Saint Germain
This is Diptyque's original address, the one that gave the brand its name and its spirit. Here lies the soul of the Maison. The 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain product collection is a living reminder and symbol of the Maison's emblematic location. This address, in the heart of Paris's Latin Quarter, evokes the bohemian Paris of yesteryear and the Paris of aesthetics of today. From the Sorbonne University to the jazz clubs still open today, from the quintessential Saint-Germain cafés to the galleries of modern and contemporary art, from the Panthéon to the booksellers on the banks of the Seine, it represents, like no other, art, culture, and the Parisian lifestyle with its timeless pleasures. An address that inspires dreams all over the world.
At 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain, the founding trio of Diptyque showcased their unique style and creative sensibility. The boutique, opened in 1961, became the center of the original passions and inspirations of three aesthetes brimming with curiosity about the world and life: Desmond Knox-Leet, Christiane Montadre-Gautrot, and Yves Coueslant. Here, their energies coalesced into a melting pot of creativity, the starting point for the Diptyque adventure. Behind the double windows of the old shop, the heart of a new brand was awakened, a brand whose dynamism would sweep the globe.
