Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Eau de 34, launched by Diptyque in 2013 and crafted by Olivier Pescheux, is a composition that seamlessly blends fresh citrus with aromatic spices and woody undertones. The opening notes of verbena, bitter orange, juniper berries, grapefruit, and lemon create an invigorating freshness that gradually gives way to the complexity of lavender, birch leaf, nutmeg, and cinnamon. At its heart, geranium and tuberose add a floral warmth, while cedar, moss, incense, patchouli, and labdanum anchor it with earthy depth.
Eau de 34 has a balanced longevity that allows it to evolve throughout the day. Apply one or two sprays on your pulse points for a nuanced experience — the citrus top notes are bright but fade within an hour, giving way to the rich base notes that persist through the evening.
