Diptyque Do Son Eau de Toilette

Do Son Eau de Toilette by Diptyque is a luminous floral fragrance that captures the delicate power of memory—specifically, the childhood recollections of Diptyque co-founder Yves Coueslant, who spent summers in the coastal town of Do Son in Halong Bay, Vietnam. Created by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin and launched in 2005, this scent is an ode to the sea breeze and the intoxicating aroma of blooming tuberose carried through the warm air.

Infused with nostalgia and poetic softness, Do Son evokes a dreamy scene: temples and markets perfumed with lush floral offerings, where tuberose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang are wrapped in canna leaves, filling the air with an exotic, sacred sweetness. The fragrance embodies this gentle sensuality—elegant and pure, yet quietly captivating.

The composition opens with a blend of African orange flower, iris, and rose, introducing a light, almost airy floral tone. At the heart, tuberose takes center stage—creamy, white, and sun-soaked—accented by a touch of pink pepper for subtle spice. The drydown is soft and enveloping, with musk and benzoin adding a comforting, skin-like warmth that lingers gently.

Do Son is a fragrance of grace and memory—floral and radiant, perfect for those drawn to the understated beauty of white flowers and the quiet intimacy of scent as emotion.
