All Diptyque candles are composed of fragrances that comply with IFRA standards, with a rigorous selection of raw materials and the exclusion of certain molecules as a health, environmental or ethical precaution.

Their wax, of cosmetic quality, is mainly mineral: chosen for its exceptional olfactory release and clean combustion.
Each fragrance benefits from a custom blend of waxes, for optimal and safe diffusion.

Additional information

Founded in 1961 in Paris, Diptyque is an iconic niche perfume house, born from the union of three creators passionate about drawing and design. Their first boutique, located on Boulevard Saint-Germain, marked the beginning of a unique olfactory artistic adventure. Diptyque perfumes, recognizable by their oval bottles, tell stories of real or imagined journeys through a sublime natural world. The house prioritizes emotion and originality with creations signed by perfumers such as Fabrice Pellegrin and Olivia Giacobetti. Diptyque embodies poetic elegance and creative freedom in French haute parfumerie.

The olfactive footprint of a mythical place — a lived-in Parisian interior.
Blackcurrant, moss, blonde wood, incense — green, spicy, hushed.

34 boulevard Saint-Germain is not just an address — it's the starting point of an olfactory adventure that changed global perfumery. When Diptyque wanted to create the signature scent of this place, they sought to capture not a single flower or material, but an atmosphere: that of a Parisian interior filled with books, objects, and travel souvenirs, where the windows overlook a garden, and evening falls gently.

Blackcurrant leaves, pink peppercorns, and citrus peels open with a lively, green, and slightly fruity freshness — a verdant freshness evoking a Parisian garden in spring. Geranium, cinnamon, and cardamom bring a spicy and slightly floral dimension to the heart, adding depth and warmth. The base settles into an enveloping softness — slightly earthy and woody moss, warm and subtly golden blonde wood, subtly resinous and airy incense — a hushed and deeply elegant atmosphere that gradually permeates the space.

34 Boulevard Saint Germain is the candle for those who want their interior to have a soul — discreet, elegant, memorable.

Maison Diaphane's Take

A candle that immediately evokes a living, elegant, and profoundly Parisian place. The blackcurrant-moss-blonde wood accord is one of Diptyque's most recognizable — green without being fresh, spicy without being warm, woody without being heavy. The benchmark candle for an interior with character.

Diptyque's 34 Boulevard Saint Germain candle is the olfactory signature of the brand's first flagship store, founded in Paris in 1961.

What is the general ambiance of this candle?

Green, hushed, and slightly woody — the atmosphere of a lived-in Parisian interior. The composition opens with a green and spicy freshness, then gradually becomes more enveloping and resinous.

Is the scent more fresh or warm?

Both — that's its unique characteristic. The opening is green and slightly fresh, thanks to blackcurrant leaves. Then cinnamon and cardamom bring a spicy warmth, and the moss-blonde wood-incense base establishes a soft and enveloping atmosphere.

Which room is best for this candle?

Mainly the living room or library — its green and woody sophistication flourishes in living areas, especially in the evening. It can also be suitable for a hallway or entryway, to create an elegant first impression.

What size should I choose?

For a standard-sized living room, the 300g (~75h) or 600g (~90h) size is ideal. The 1.5 kg (~120h, three wicks) size is designed for larger spaces or intensive use. In-store, we can advise you based on the area you wish to scent.
