this is one of the most wearable tuberose scents I’ve ever tried. and it’s beautiful.
some days, it’s a dreamy tuberose that dries down to something just delectable, and almost creamy.
other days, it’s an almost shampoo-like tuberose that dries down clean.
but it’s always a stunner, to me, and always feels right.
Xeroxuqjij – :
Based on reviews, I bought a sample of the eau de toilette and am pleasantly surprised. It’s the perfect fresh tuberose and reminds me of Carnal Flower upon opening. I wish it would last longer but it’s such a good one I may just buy a full bottle of it. I haven’t tried the eau de parfum, but I am curious to see how different it is!
chechet4 – :
It’s quite boring perfume, lacks of nuances and development. Just blast of white flowers, which stays with you for about 4 hours, and gradually gets more and more silent.
L’Artisan De nuit tuberose is much more interesting.
Set – :
It’s true that the EDP and the EDT are completely different, and even if you’re new to perfume, like me, you’ll still be able to notice. I adore the EDP but not the EDT, just a matter of personal preference. Don’t risk a blind buy just because you love one. You might have completely different feelings about the other.

I just recently purchase Do Son. However, I purchase the 6.8 body mist. I really like it– and in this form.
When I receive eau de toilette samples of this with a purchase long ago, I like it but wasn’t excited by it. I didn’t ever think I would purchase it.
This year when I brought something at the Diptyque boutique I was given the tuberuese candle and was instantly floored by it. I was told that it complimented Do Son, but the candle is different in that it has more of a tuberose essence to it, and the benzion was a little stronger. It was more salty, and yet sweet!
Yet the perfume just lack that. Then at another boutique that carry diptyque products, I smelled the body mist and it was very similar to the candle. Very close to an actual tuberose smell. It looks like lotion but is an oil and can be spray on the pressure point or rubbed into the skin. It somewhat cheaper than the toilette and of course you get more at 6.8 oz
However, I was afraid it wouldn’t last long–but last night I got a good 4 hours out of it, with a hint of it this morning. It actually last as long as the Eau de Toilette. The toilette seems to have small longevity for a toilette and tend to have a gum like smell to it.
As I was leaving , I learn that my favorite tuberose was being discontinued –Tom For Orchid Soliel, so purchasing Do Son was kismet as that it will replace Orchid Soliel as my tuberose go to.
So try the body mist if you interest in Do Son and a good tuberose smell, you will enjoy it.

I find this fragrance fairly middle of the road, as much as I love Philosykos and Eau Moheli. It’s nice. It’s fine. It’s very flowery, quite light, would be (and probably will be) a pleasant work fragrance. It’s just flowers. Lots and lots of flowers, not much else to report. It’s unoffensive and fairly light, just flowers.
Kpot_ik – :
While I can’t wear Do Son EDP at all, due to the strong tea note that makes me sneeze like crazy, I found this EDT version is more wearable and pleasant. If you are a beginner trying out tuberose as a new scent, I think this is the “safest” tuberose fragrance that you can start with, compared to its own EDP version, Gucci Bloom, Fracas, Madonna Truth Or Dare, and some of Michael Kors EDPs.
Do Son EDT is more like an orange blossom and tuberose cross-breed on my skin which I really like that fact, as tuberose can be very overwhelming or giving me a “wilted” floral smell sometimes. It has a very moist scent in nature, and comes with a little “warmth”. It can also be described as a “wet” floral scent to some people. Being mixed in with orange blossom here, that “wetness” was under controlled, leaving just a tat “drier” tuberose, and yet, still fresh and crisp. Diptyque fragrances in general tend to have a big “green” vibe to my nose (as in Do Son EDP, Vetyverio EDP, Philosykos EDP…). There is no surprise with this EDT either, but the “green” vibe here is more tamed and wearable and does not bother my nose so much, perhaps because of the powdery iris.
Diptyque Do Son EDT does not have a wow factor, but overall it is a well blended fragrance and enjoyable to me. It is what it does as an EDT, uplifting and refreshing. Sillage and longevity are very good, no doubt. I found that Diptyque fragrances have great quality for the money.
maks02 – :
This is ok. Not the best I’ve tried from this house; unoffensive, pleasant enough, not over-powering, clean… Not shaking my world but it’s fine for work and general nostril peace.
aleck.ru2011 – :
Do Son EdT is a soft spoken tuberose scent. After a brief citrusy opening the tuberose dominates the whole fragrance with a creamy musky drydown. Very linear, simple, easy-wearing scent. It is not a heavy, loud, indolic diva-type tuberose, it’s much more innocent and natural.
AC98 – :
Somehow my mother’s natural skin scent smells exactly like this. Do Son is comforting and beautiful. Tuberose here smells more like gardenia and magnolia. Benzoin and musk under white florals is so wonderful. I can even detect the pepper. Diptyque consistently puts out excellent fragrances.
лешик – :
Agillainaire, I agree. It smells very beachy and summery. The tuberose veers coconut.
снежана – :
I think it smells a bit like sunblock or coconut oil. Nobody? I loved it. And it reminded me of Byredo Velvet Haze.
Ваэрон – :
Very interesting. I smell the tuberose very much, just like in Gucci Bloom but this one is dirtier (in a good way) and colder probably due to the iris. It’s a like from me not a love.
Levaml – :
Gorgeous, simple tuberose scent. Fades in 2 hours, so not worth the price.
MRtiptTnsl – :
The opening of Do Son is amazing, a fresh sparkling wet medley of tuberose, rose and orange flower. Just wonderful. It’s a pity that it soon dries down to a strong indolic peppery tuberose – unfortunately headache-inducing for me. The first five minutes are absolute magic though.
bonton_2859 – :
Just applied a sample of this and immediately I’m reminded of menthol cough drops, not in an unappealing way, but it’s there. Gorgeous Tuberose, orange leaf shows up after a few minutes. Lovely, but heady and intoxicating. A little tuberose goes a long way… looking forward to the dry down…
ambussydand – :
As soon as I tried this, I knew I had smelled this fragrance before. I know it is Tuberose and not Gardenia, but this fragrance often carries a Gardenia title with it with other manufacturers. I did smell the same fragrance before in Hawaii in 1988 when I purchased a small bottle of perfume oil there. The perfume oil is encased in a lovely ceramic bottle with beautiful painted flowers on it. It is called “Island Gardenia” by Edward Bell, Hawaiiana Perfumes. Gucci Bloom also strongly resembles this one.
Anyway, Do Son is an intensely lovely perfume, especially if you love the fragrance of Tuberose. I would, however, agree with a previous reviewer that you can find this fragrance all over the place in Thailand. It is a bit strong for me. I personally prefer the Olene and the Ofresia to this one.
oksanagricenko79 – :
Lovely stuff! Sample given to me by a very generous member. Use sparingly! Do Son packs a powerful punch: a very little goes a long way! (I sprayed one spray too many!) Creamy, indolic tuberose that reminds me a great deal of two of my favourite tuberose-laden scents: Piguet’s Fracas and Lutens’ Fleurs d’Oranger. I sense lush, over-ripe tuberose which has been crushed, along with its leaves. I’m no expert at detecting the other notes (although rose might be equally responsible for Do Son’s animalic quality). Top-grade ingredients. Excellent longevity and, again, careful with how much you put on!
kalinin777 – :
Do Son is one of my favourite womens fragrances. Actually it’s one of the fragrances that introduced me to the niche world and got me hooked on collecting fragrances (allthough I don’t own or wear it).
I often gift it to friends and it always gets appreciated. Diptyque is a great house with reasonable prices with many designers fragrances that are way more expensive nowadays.
Don’t get fooled by Do Son. It’s precieved as a soft scent, but the sillage and longivety is huge.
For once i actually prefer the toilette version over det EDP. It’s more interesting and a little fresher.
xqh328Diobtetty – :
I have this fragrance in the solid version, as it is quite expensive as a perfume. It smells gorgeous, I can smell jasmine and tuberose. It’s fresh, tropically floral, and creamy/waxy. I love the smell but think it would last longer in the spray form.
orvlvl – :
very creamy floral. I smell the jasmine the most with hints of honeysuckle, i find it to be a very linear scent and quite generic, very boring, maybe because i used to live in thailand, i ran into similar scents around shops, massage spas, markets, cabs…If you like this, you should try Body shop’s monoi oil (clear bottle with blue label) smells similar but has stronger silage, and stays on for days.
tambov2 – :
@Scented _definition are you sure you mean fecal?i don’t think smelling of this is what you want out of a perfume ?
This perfume to me brings out such a beautiful tuberose aroma ,really creamy and strong ,long lasting !people at my work who have worn this definitely fill the room with this smell
antireks – :
White sails, wooden boats, sunset on the sea. I smell sweet jasmine, tuberose, sand and sea. Gorgeous.
Stirik – :
Love the solid perfumes from this company. They last pretty much a whole work day, though I’d wear less so the morning isn’t over powered by the scent.
Do Son is my first understanding of what complexity in perfumes meant. I got it after a failed attempt to grow tuberose in unsuitable environment. I am not sure if I’d agree that the perfume smells like the fresh plant – I should have childhood memories of the real thing but I don’t recognize this scent. This smells so good – so good. I have rose days, ocean days, vanilla days, citrus days, green days, sandalwood days, etc. This is a stable tuberose day. With layers of ‘stuff’ underneath that I didn’t even think it’s important to word it. I just saw that there’s benzoin – all of these resins from ancient times make spectacular perfumes. I’m actually planning on burning benzoin resin but this perfume is like a carry on, with the added harmony of exotic tropical flower.
kkjamesm1 – :
If perfumes could become humans, Do Son would be a young woman wearing a white dress, reading book in the garden, in a chilly morning. Definitely a lot of tuberose and gardenia, and some jasmine. It’s a clean white floral with excellent projection and longevity, without being overwhelming or boring. This perfume makes me love tuberose. Do Son is a head turner, I could tell on the very first day I wore it. Not that everyone would be so amazed and stop you and ask what you have on, but it draws attention and people enjoy it.
zumivku – :
This is for the Edt.
Ok. I think that I am ready to give my personal opinion on this one. I received this for my birthday in September, so I have not had it a full month yet. This fragrances’ initial blast is powerful only if over sprayed. This is definitely tuberose, but it is a creamy, soft tuberose. I also get this watery or melony type of smell from it in the first few hours. When it settles down even more on me, it smells like honeysuckle. A Deep Beautiful Sweet Honeysuckle. I know that’s not a note, but that’s what I get, and I love it.
It projects for about 2-3 hrs, and is a skin scent for the next 2-3 hrs on me. Do Son does remind me of Gucci Bloom. Side by side Gucci is more of a perfumery tuberose, while Do Son is a more “natural” smelling tuberose. They both are very beautiful. I am very happy to be in a relationship with this one.
-Alexandr- – :
Fleshy Clean Humid & Faintly fecal.
What I enjoy most about this scent is it’s clean but still has a distinctly lived in feel to it.
Many fresh scents are too impersonal (Omnia Crystalline for example is so clean it’s bright-white and almost robotic)
This is a humid greenhouse filled with evergreen palm trees and pink waxy carnivorous plants.
santyago77 – :
Nice and fresh at first, dries down to heady white flowers quite resembling estee lauder beyond paradise.
fr0st05 – :
As Do Son EDP is 7 years younger and quite different from EDT, it’s strange that the webmasters here mix up the two.
The EDP is more concentrated, not a surprise, but also much less floral and more animalic while remaining respectful of this great flower, not like Histoire de Parfum’s smoking gun Tuberose 3 (too much!) or Ropion’s Carnal Flowers (campherous sweetness standing against an astronomic concentration of tuberose – nice but almost too much, too). The power of tuberose is very well modulated by orange blossom throughout the show, while rose and iris fade rather quickly. A very nice compromise ! So this is my preferred animalic tuberose.
The EDT is a more floral, feminine, beautiful composition. There is no gardenia (some reviewers here think there is), but the stronger rose and orange blossom can lead to the impression of jasmine being included, which doesn’t seem to be the case. With the recent Molinard EDP “Tubereuse Vertigineuse”, the EDT is as close as you can get to the reference classic 70 years young “Fracas” of Germaine Cellier/Robert Piguet. Longevity is the same as that of Do Son EDP, only the composition is different here, more floral.
At some moments, the orange blossom almost dominates, evocative of Serge Lutens’ Fleur d’Oranger ! The EDT’s kaleidoscopic evolution could lead my wife to think it’s triggering on myself a Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome, so often my wrists jump to my nose !! It’s a heavenly frag : this EDT is a must have !
total90 – :
I bought the 75ml eau de parfum in Dublin last April, hoping I had finally found my tuberose: green, fresh, girly yet sexy. Well, it does smell good out of the nozzle, with a hint of sweetness which is absolutely lovely and not ‘too much’. But when I spray it on my skin all I get is green and more green. A bit harsh and screechy at times. I read it develops more beautifully in hot wet weather, so I patiently waited for the summer months to come: no change! I am so sorry it doesn’t work with my chemistry: am I the only one it smells like celery on skin?
perCoemoZonrY – :
Do Son is a realistic and delicate white flower and one of the very best three to my favorites from this house. The other two next to this are Philosykos and Tam Dao (EdT only) respectively.
The opening is about gardenia other than alleged tuberose per se, as if you are walking through a country path with endless waves of gardenia blossoms by your sides in an early spring morning. I know it’s weird to mention the existence of gardenia as the marketing department did not list it, but in fact there is. If you have the experience of picking gardenia blossoms, namely the Gardenia Jasminoides in its binomial name, you would have the same feeling.
After a while, the green vibe gradually tones down, it evolves into a half gardenia, half jasmine (or just half Olene, which gives it a masculine touch), and with a hint of vanilla that brings a soft and elegent layer to it.
It’s simple, elegent, solid, and definately a grail for spring and early summer casual days. As for the concentration, I might recommend the EdT version, since it has more balanced structure, and is more unisex (than its EdP and a bunch of alternatives within the genre), as well as long lasting. Rating: 7.5/10 for EdT, 6.5-7.0 for EdP.
raytex – :
I have a sample of this and I would have bought the full bottle if the tuberose note wasn’t so metallic. I really love tuberose, but I have a weird PH and I must be very careful to test everything directly on skin. In this case (and also Tom Ford – Orchid Soleil or Annick Goutal – Gardenia), the tuberose becomes so metallic and it loses all its charm. Too bad, I really liked it on the paper strip
LeX_MawoN – :
I adore this fragrance! This will be my signature for some time.
And the first time I prefer an EDT over the EDP.
The EDT feels more fresh and has pretty good lasting power. The EDP feels a little dense in my opinion – nevertheless both are real gorgeous ones!
deman_007 – :
Do Son is a gauzy white floral that manages to capture the essence of tuberose while casting it in the unlikely role of delicate maiden. The tuberose here isn’t as buttery as that of Fracas, as nuclear as that of Amarige, or as plasticky as that of Michael Kors; rather, it is an idealised interpretation that showcases all of the flower’s most appealing facets (waxy, oily, seductive) without its most divisive and overpowering qualities.
It helps that Do Son isn’t all about tuberose. The flower has been deftly paired here with sweet orange blossom in the top and a gorgeously warm, spicy blend of resins, pink pepper and musk in the base. Though rich, Do Son never feels too heavy, and its presence is moderate. The overall effect is more unisex than any tuberose scent ought to be. All up, Do Son is yet another superb white floral offering from Diptyque.
Sunfes – :
Do Son presents itself as a pretty, uncomplicated floral. Here musk is airy and smooth, velvety and warm, slightly soapy and clean.
Gently sweet velvet tuberose petals, small in size, rich in stature accented with the waxiness of orange flower, glowing with an almost solar warmth. I also pick up some creamy gardenia in this composition.
This is a solid addition to any white flower lover’s wardrobe, warm, deep, full, simple without any indole or animalic groanings, nor any bubblegum synthetics. Do Son is the foundation tuberose that is an easy, natural love.
rgc102JeomiWogkig – :
If you want a refined subdued white floral that doesnt announce itself, Do Son is for you. Its fresh opening leading into the tuberose/pink pepper heart that doesnt jar or stun the nose but rather act as a piece of satin in a calming way. Its not a monster floral but this can be worn for any day, any season, any event. Its a great all-around fragrance. Its obvious why this one gets so much love.
nikalaass16 – :
Like esteban747, this takes me back to my childhood. There is a fragrance that this reminds me of, and dang if I can remember it. Comforting, relaxing, laid back. Not screechy at all. Soft and delicate and feminine.
I recently read a quote that Christian Dior said, “”After women, flowers are the most lovely thing God has given the world.” – Christian Dior …And to me, this sums up that notion. Lightly floral, very feminine, just lovely. If you want to smell feminine/womanly and a little floral and lovely, this might be something you want to try. Tuberose is very prominent here. If you do not like white florals, this one will likely be a pass for you.
A clean, light, inoffensive scent. My only complaint is that this does not last long, but as with lighter scents, I guess that is to be expected.
Putnik700 – :
This fragrance took me back to my childhood. It’s like a a heady night bloom jasmine on a humid summer night. Fantastic.
The tuberose is fresh, elegant, pure and simple.
Unlike other perfumes with tuberose, Do Son is delicate and wearable.
A delight.
xxxXaoCccc – :
Finally, I found my tuberose!
On other people I’ve always found tuberose heady, sensual and classy, but it’s always seemed to wear me rather than the other way round. Fracas, for instance: I know it’s a masterpiece, but on my skin it’s overpowering and oddly oily. Estee Lauder’s Tuberose Gardenia is gorgeous and always gets compliments, but I find it a little pretty-pretty and virginal, as though I’m wearing a too-frilly dress (I’m not a frilly girl).
Do Son is unabashedly tuberose, but to my nose the pink pepper and the orange flower cut through the heaviness of the flower, freshening and enlivening its almost opiate effect. The musky base works so much better on my skin than Tuberose Gardenia, which is a little too (literally and figuratively) vanilla. Do Son is warmer, more grounded, but still fresher compared to the double whammy to the nostrils that is Fracas.
I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to try Do Son. I think I was put off the Diptyques by the ubiquity of Philosykos among my friends a few years back. I’m off to investigate the rest, now. The bottles are gorgeous, too…
МЕТАМОРФОЗ – :
As big white florals go, I like this. Fracas is the mother of all tuberose scents imho and I can’t help but draw comparisons whenever presented with a heady white floral bouquet such as this, but…there’s a softness brought about by the iris and musky base and a sexy little zing from the benzoin which make this imminently more wearable for me than the stunning but overpowering Fracas. Having said that, I would buy full bottle of Fracas before I would buy a fb of this so what does that say? For me, maybe that while this is beautiful and so wearable, it isn’t (sorry) as memorable or original as that mother of all tuberose perfumes to me.
dvorydkin2010 – :
Katie Puckrick posted a video on youtube several years ago where she talked about Do Son. She said that she sprays it into the bathroom while showering and it becomes like a tropical rainstorm.
The image stuck in my mind, then last week in Manhattan I spotted a Diptyque boutique near the studio where I work. I’d never been to Diptyque and had only sampled Philosykos.
It was a summertime heatwave and I remembered Do Son. When the shopgirl gave me the tester it was immediate relief. I understood why Katie uses the perfume this way – it’s very clean. I’m a lover of white floral perfumes and I tend to think that more sweet, innocent one like Chasse Aux Papillons and Chanel Gardenia are actually sexier and better reserved for formal occasions than their heavier counterparts – which to me are sort of funky and take-me-as-I-am. I love A La Nuit, a jasmine perfume, that feels like a tropical garden where you’d find a naked orgy in the middle of the day with the Grateful Dead playing the in the background.
Do Son has musk that makes it clean and airy, and the resin gives it depth. Get that? It’s airy and deep – but not heavy. The tuberose and orange flower are strong but not candied. It’s a conservative, high-quality white floral that is carefully made and the scent of the flowers are strong – but not sweet or dirty. It may be too strong to be considered graceful but it has a crisp elegance.
I bought the balm because it was cheapest, but also because I loved the feel of it on my parched, overheated, burning skin. The packaging is just beautiful for display, too, and easily portable. The black ceramic container looks perfect among the black bottles (Habanita, Attar de Roses) in my collection. In my early 20s, I wore a balm from Pacifica called Thai Lemongrass which was sweet and refreshing. The texture of Diptyque’s balm is obviously on a whole other level.
I’m definitely hooked and when I return I’m going to purchase Olene, which I also tested, and the very beautiful Baies candle… if I don’t order them online before then!
mamba-1930 – :
This is a pretty tuberose but it reminds me very much of Michael Kors minus the awesome creamy, buttery note. I won’t be buying this one when I can get MK for much cheaper. It is a quality tuberose though.
jenylight – :
Do Son by Diptyque is a lush green tuberose that is sweetened up with orange flower combined with subtle hints of rose and pink pepper. It is a beautiful green floral scent and perfect to wear in the spring!
hudoi – :
I ordered the EDT version online and let me start by saying that the EDT felt more crisp and green right out of the box. It’s good, but certainly different enough. Which one do I prefer? Well… I think right now the EDT was the best choice for me. I especially like to spray it in my hair. The tuberose is very prominent, but not overpowering. Love it!
fille_vierge – :
While this is an absolutely beautiful scent, it is certainly a feminine leaning fragrance. That being said, this is the perfect scent to layer with other men’s fragrances that have a masculine edge to them. Today I layered this with Creed’s Royal water with absolutely positive results. Royal Water has always had a rough edge that bordered on too herbal. I found that layering it with Do Son was the perfect balance. The florals balance out the harshness of Royal Water perfectly.
On a woman though, this is a very seductive fragrance. Very light and airy and almost like smelling wet, dewy flowers in the springtime.
I highly recommend both men and women to try this one.
huhorevo – :
A lovely, powerful floral perfume that remains unisex even with its strong profile of jasmine, tuberose, and powdery iris.
A long lasting scent (it gets me through an entire day) that starts out quite bright and powerful then fades into a subtle reminder after a few hours.
In my own olfactory memory this perfume reminds me of a funeral home: the mountains of fragrant flowers that drown out the synthetic formaldehyde and give some comfort to the mind. A contrast of bright, upfront-ness and substantive shadows, dark wool underneath.
I’d say excellent for spring and summer with a tendency to wear it at night or to functions.
lerusya – :
Today I part ways with this lovely fragrance. Do Son was what made me fall in love with the tuberose flower. It’s a very simple and refined scent I mainly get two notes the tuberose obviously and pink pepper everything else in this composition is there to help those two notes shine. Longevity and projection are really impressive it radiates off my skin when I wear it specially in spring and summer. Don Son is great for people who are just getting into tuberose it’s sleek and to the point if you like tuberose you will like it if you don’t like tuberose you won’t.
Even though I love Do Son but I won’t be repurchasing it any time soon since I own Carnal flower and it’s the best tuberose fix for my taste and no they don’t smell similar.
Ps: I’m reviewing the EDP version.
kristal-zap – :
I have the solid version. It’s a gorgeous, mature but still youthful and feminine floral scent. I love that it’s not overly light/fresh and it has a bit of a warmth to it so there is the huggable/sexy vibe to it. Only downside is that it’s very expensive..
Edit: I still love the scent. And despite being a linear scent, the purity and freshness of the tuberose itself bring complexity. The downside to the solid is that it has awful longevity and sillage 🙁 So perhaps those that are considering getting this perfume should get the spray. The only time someone will notice it is right after you put it on and before you leave the house.
Drift – :
This is the only Diptyque fragrance that I really cannot handle. Basically this is a tuberose overkill; add to this equation a hefty dose of super-powdery iris and loads of musk, and then just pick whether you want to die from suffocation or migraine. Honestly, it is *that* strong and overwhelming. Tuberose lovers will enjoy this; the rest of the world, better stay away!
Healtsjaite – :
Do Son is a stunning perfume.
I smell a beautiful, round, fleshy, almost “sweaty” smelling tuberose, that blends seamlessly with my natural sweaty smell, especially during humid summer days. This sweatiness is very sensual, almost erotic, and evocative of hot and frisky summer’s evenings. I find it difficult to distinguish the notes apart from the tuberose as it is so well-blended, but there is some freshness, sweetness and softness which gives the scent an alluring, feminine quality. Musk appears on my skin during the dry down.
I love how this is never overpowering, but instead well-balanced with some sweet and creamy nuances. For serious tuberose lovers, something stronger may be preferred, but this is perfect for me (a heady tuberose gives me headaches), so I love wearing the EDT.
Infinitely wearable by anyone, but most appropriate for the heat in my opinion, which makes this ideal for someone living in a hot climate. It is quite long lasting too, the longevity was for about 8-10 hours on my skin, whilst the sillage was soft to moderate in strength that surrounded me with an invisible little cloud 🙂
ru-s-tam – :
many years ago a had a bottle and love it, is almost a dupe for Estee lauder Private collection Tuberose gardenia, but I prefer Do Son.
Mehpy778Bessinepome – :
I love this perfume. It smells like flowers and pepper. It’s so strong and expensive that I only wear it on very special occasions. It’s a high class fragrance. Reminds me of money and high heels.
advireere – :
Big headache inducing white floral for me. This type of fragrance is just not my cup of tea. It came in a discovery set – I strongly suggesting testing before you buy if heady/heavy white florals often bother you.
sneza1993 – :
Bought a small bottle of this recently in London (EDT). Smells gorgeous and lush but unfortunately fades VERY quickly. Disappointing offering from Diptyque.
Domovena – :
A decent tuberose scent, but there are better around. Not very original and hence not quite up to the standard you’d expect from Diptyque. Nevertheless, if you are looking for tuberose, you get what you expect.

sanches – :
Not really a review, but I just have to say that the Mythic Oil, shimmering oil from l’oreal reminds me a whole lot of the Do Son edt. Its probably not exactly the same, but its still very similar and a lot cheaper …and you can wear it in your hair 🙂 win, win! 😉
(Obs!It does contain glitter though…)
I forgot to say; its NOT the “rich oil” that smells similar. They are totally different. Its the “shimmering oil”!
lagut_63 – :
After testing a small amount of Do Son (from a swap, so I don’t know if it was edp or edt)and reading the reviews here, I ordered a FB edt. I am quite impressed with the longevity, more than 12 hours, sillage is moderate.
It starts fresh, citrus, jasmine, strong, a bit as cellery, green, tubereuse, but it grows strong. For a few hours it turned to a heavy bouquet white flowes (from 3 sprays on my upper body). I changed clothes but I can still smell it. On my skin the strongst notes are the jasmine followed by tubereuse. This is the most summery tubereuse I have tested so far. It is not as creamy as Carnal Flower, not so elegant as Creed Iris tubereuse, not so tropical as Beyond Love, not so 80’s as Fracas. It is a dewy green tubereuse without sweetness and quite beautiful for a summer and spring day. I am happy to have it.
shucha – :
Very soft and creamy white floral. I smell musk and benzoin before the sweetness, but that’s very individual, as my partner thought I smelled like sweet vanilla. Funnily, I really don’t smell it on myself. I have to spray A LOT to get whiffs of it during the day, but my partner smells it very strongly even if I put only a few spritzes on. I guess that means it works really well with my skin/nose, but I wish I could smell it better on myself so that I could properly enjoy this lovely fragrance.
I definitely smell a very nice jasmine in this, and generally feel that the perfume is quite modern and unique, suitable for all elegant ladies out there.

Review is for the EdP.
Orangeblossom with a spicy twist I would say. Not as innocent and girly as Robert Piguet’s Blossom, and not as sexy and womanly as is Armani Code Luna. This falls in the middlezone. Even unisex maybe? Maybe for layering?
I am a sucker for anything creamy white floral, this is no exception.
Went off to layer this with Rituals no.19 Sandalwood and Patchouli… I might be on to something big here.

A beautiful white flower filled scent. I almost get a feeling of Lily-in-the-valley, but like a whisper. Very airy soft smell of them, but they are not included. I also get a softspicy smell – so for daring men – I say, try it.
En ljuvlig doft fylld med vita blommor. Jag får nästan en känsla av Liljekonvalj, men som en viskning. Otroligt luftig, mjuk Liljekonvalj-doft men de är inte med i doftpyramiden. Jag får även en kryddig känsla – så för modiga män säger jag bara – testa den.

I’m not really eloquent since there is not much to say.
You get sweet white flower
