It’s probably no secret that here at BND we love a little bit of Diptyque and we didn’t think they could get any better, until we smelt their latest offering, 34. To say it’s a luscious, heady concoction would be quite frankly an understatement, it is quite the most delicious blend of woody, spicyness mixed with fresh green leaves that we’ve smelt in a while. Created to represent the original shop in Paris at 34 Boulevard Saint Germain it’s essentially an interpretation of the fragrance house. What sets it aside from other of the house’s fragrances is the delicate oval bottle, decorated pouch and beautifully embossed box. There's both a room fragrance as well as a perfume to wear and best of all it isn’t (as is so often the case with these things) a limited edition, so happily you can never run out. We say hurrah to that.

Available March 2011, £60 for 50ml
