Do Son Eau de Toilette

After a while of owning both the edt and edp, i must say i love the edt much much more. This is by no means a realistic tuberose, and the edp comes even less close to that. But the jasmine in here, especially in the sillage when you dont go to your arm to sniff it willingly, is so so beautiful and real and alive. Perfectly animalic; core part of the notes instead of a seperate addition. Its quite simple and thats what i like about it. I can appreciate complex perfumery but creating simple things that smell good and compelling are just as difficult to create. I call it simple for its not multi faceted and quite linear. Jasmine and tuberose are multi faceted as they are, however. Which means i really do prefer them to be more solifloral and not an addition to/aspect of a fragrance. I love this over the edp because the performance is rather similar yet this one smells more photorealistic (as in, creates an image and atmosphere of a place you have been to before. Not a photorealistic tuberose) while the edp doesnt. The edp smells more like the tropical warm sunny aspects of tuberose with a sliiiight hint of green that is by no means bitter, camphorous or chlorophyll like. This smells like walking past white flowers blooming at night. I say white flowers because truly, this could be considered any white floral. If you have only smelled honeysuckles in your life, this may just be a honeysuckle perfume. It does have that certain nectary dewiness honeysuckles have. I kind of overmention this in all my reviews but i am into gardening and flowers and plants in general. Which means i am very familiar with plants in real life and also what their scent is like, and since the jasmine and tuberose flowers ive smelled (both smell extremely different by the way) are both so complex and interesting , i cant help but crave that in my perfume. No, essential oils wont do. And neither do absolutes. Flower oils/materials smell different when extracted compared to how the actual flowers and the areas around them smell. Diptyque does a good job at KIND of bottling the air around a jasmine vine in a small Mediterranean town at night. Tuberose? Not quite. But thats okay. I love both equally. This is just not skanky and hreen enough to be realistic. Fine i’ll stop mentioning that. Its a great perfume but only for jasmine/heady white floral lovers. Otherwise it might fall too flat or be too simple. Its not a perfumey perfume. Its a faux soliflore in a way. DEFINITELY no iris or pink pepper present. Performance is alright, perfect for the hottest days and nights of summer, 8.4/10 for me

Full bodied, delicious, milky and realistic. Its an amazing fragrance. Its nothing ground breaking, but thats not important when you’re working with such a wonderful fragrance. If diptyque can do one thing right, its making fragrances feel whole without being heavy. Every one of their scents feels ‘full’ without being cloying or overpowering. Its extremely realistic, and its just amazing. Its a grandma fragrance, dont get me wrong. But thats exactly the type of perfumery im into.. it just smells well experienced and mature. Im a guy and i admit its feminine leaning, but ive gotten tons of compliments from wearing this and i definitely believe men can pull this off. Its white floral, but instead of just focusing on the essence it focuses on the whole plant and the air around that plant. Its like walking past a bunch of tuberose and jasmine on a warm sunny day. Flowers dont smell the same when you put your nose close to them, so this is a perfect trait in my opinion. The sillage is surprisingly good. Whenever i spray this around my neck (3 times), i get wafts of it all throughout the day. When i spray it on my wrist, it disappears rather quickly. I believe you can get anosmic to this really easily if you keep smelling it voluntarily. I think this is why people are rating its longevity and sillage low, but i think thats perfect. It never overstays its welcome, you wont bother people by smelling like this. And this is an edt! Ive noticed my skin handles edts much better than edps, since all of my supposedly long lasting edps disappear very soon. Its also not that warm where i live (10 degrees celsius mostly) so i’m excited for how it will project in warm weather Compared to the edp, this is more effervescent and airy. It smells like tuberose carried by the wind. I dont really get much from the other notes, but i dont need to when the tuberose here already has a lot of nuances (milky, green, indolic, clean, light, sticky). This scent leaves nothing to be desired for me and its yet another amazing fragrance from probably my favorite house. The price is also very fitting imo, it smells way more natural than other expensive tuberoses ive smelled (which have a synthetic scratchy vibe to them). Definitely sample this by wearing this throughout the day, dont just sample it on paper or on your hand.

I do think that, apart from the reaction with ourselves, how a fragrance performs also has a lot to do with the season and the air. I live in Australia in an area where the air is generally very dry, and now that it's summer, wow I'm really enjoying Do Son again. It really blooms and shows its beauty during summer here. Do Son is currently one of my favourite perfumes for summer, so I brought my bottle with me to France this summer, during the French summer that is, and I somehow didn't enjoy wearing it at all while I was in France. Somehow Do Son just did not shine there. I rarely enjoy it during winter either, it makes me feel "cold". Anyway, so how does Do Son smell to me in my Australian summer? The tuberose is the star! Tuberose predominantly, with a few other flowers, with some green stems, in plenty of water. It is dewy, and the tuberose has a slightly rubbery sensation to it. I once gifted a friend with a bunch of flowers, including tuberose in the bouquet, and she put it in a vase in the middle of the dinner table during out dinner. The smell was truly beautiful, and reminded me of Do Son, only Do Son is perhaps slightly dewier. I've read of many comparisons of Do Son with Gucci Bloom and FM Carnal Flower. I think the opening may be similar to Gucci Bloom with Bloom being a thinner scent, but soon afterwards Gucci Bloom morphs into something synthetic and disgusting on my skin. Do Son performs beautifully on my skin throughout its wear. As for similarities with Carnal Flower, I don't find them similar apart from the fact that they are both based on tuberose and white flowers. I find Carnal Flower more show-off-y, glamorous and wanting to impress, while Do Son is meant more as an enjoyment for yourself, which is something Diptyque usually manages to do outstandingly.

Let me start off by saying that the EdT and the EdP of "Do Son" are from different planets to my nose (and on my skin). Also I need to say that while I like them both, I am so intrigued by Do Son EdP that it haunts me at night! (you all know what I mean! the perfume junkie-way of thinking; when you can't stop thinking about the scent as it's the last thing on your mind before you fall asleep and the first thing you think about when you wake up because you're so obsessed that you can't rest until you get your hands on a bottle and finally add it to your collection? ;) Yeah... that's where I am right now. I am "Do Son'ed". From the first time I smelled the cap of the EdP I was smitten! It was OH so delightful and creamy tuberose, but not only that - I swear I could smell sort of a green vanilla with a hint of the warmth from frangipani or coconut luring in the background (but I know that it must be the white musk blended with the tuberose and benzoin that give me that sweet creamy and warm sensation). I have been obsessing over "Do Son" EdP for 3 days straight now, so I think I have come to the conclusion that I need me a full bottle. The drydown is heavenly with light and airy benzoin and musk, so precious! I think it was the drydown that really got me hooked. I want to add that I do get the resemblance to Michael Kors Michael, but mostly with the EDT. The EDT is lovely as well but it's a much greener, lighter and fresher tuberose (not so much benzoin and warmth to it). Since I already own Michael Kors "Michael" I won't be purchasing the EDT of "Do Son" - but OH BOY the EDP: wait for me because I'm coming for you! <3 Long lasting and perfect for Summer!

The thought of wearing this alone makes me want to be a better person - calmer, more patient, more put together. It makes me want to iron my shirt and blow dry my hair. Read the email again before hitting send. Go buy the good tomatoes and bread. I never thought I'd be such a fan of very in-your-face floral scents, I expected myself to go for masculine-leaning unisex fragrances as I do with my clothes. And yet I run to get a full bottle after a day of sampling this (I am also strongly considering getting the jasmine on jasmine on jasmine Olene). The orange blossom especially is what makes me love this. It is sticky and suffocating, but only at first. Within 30 minutes it becomes sunny, intoxicating, feel-good. I tend to get migraines easily and expected to get one from wearing this but nothing of the sort! Wearing this on a very hot day was not the best choice, it felt out of place, but I think it will make my day in the grayest grays of January. I can't decide if it's old fashioned or classic. I'm fine with either. It has some projection, I get whiffs of the scent at random throughout the day. On skin this lasts maybe 6 hours but seemingly forever on clothing.

I Cry for You, Do Son. There’s something heart-melting about Diptyque’s Do Son that I can’t explain. That soft white tuberose, airy and nostalgic, evokes a memory I never had. It’s delicate, not loud nor overly floral, but it lingers in the air like the last light before sunset. What’s unsettling is that this perfume makes me want to cry. It’s not sad, but it evokes an ache, a kind of beautiful longing. Maybe it’s the mix of orange blossom and jasmine that carries this emotional weight, or the whisper of the sea breeze that cuts through the sweetness and makes it feel more like a scent that lingers on the sea. It’s clean, it’s tender, and it’s quiet. Not everyone will understand it, but for those who do, it hits something deep. I didn’t expect a scent to feel like a memory of someone I never met, or a place I’ve never been, but Do Son does exactly that. Incidentally, everyone I gifted this scent to hated it at first, then fell in love. Most women claimed it is not their style, but then couldn't help but return. There is definitely something hauntingly beautiful about Do Son. It will always be in my permanent collection.

Exquisite scent: it's like daydreaming under a blooming veranda. Tuberose is the heart of the composition, but this is far from a soliflore. I personally smell jasmine more than orange blossom, which works very nicely in rounding the green facets of tuberose. Pink pepper is subtle but definitively present, especially in the opening. I can also feel a light note of iris as the fragrance unfolds. Rose is mostly undetectable, unless you count the rosy-floral aroma of pink pepper. Drydown is silky, warm and very floral. Like music, every note plays it's part in creating this dreamy fragrance. It's a very feminine scent, light but dressy and somewhat nostalgic. Sampling it, I felt like the EDT staying power was quite weak. Now that I have the full bottle and use it regularly, I actually feel it's way better than anticipated. It's not a long lasting scent, by any means, but it just keeps surprising you: even after 6+ hours, when you think it's completely faded, you do something trivial (let your hair down, take off your cardigan...) and there you catch it again, lingering unexpectedly.

I bought this for my wedding because I wanted to dabble in the classic floral bride thing but don't actually really like floral fragrances and felt bored with a lot of the classic wedding perfume recommendations. Do Son did exactly what I wanted it to do - it's obviously very floral, but there's also something musky and almost salty to it, too, which made it work better for me. My wedding was in late April and I wore it by itself that day/through the rest of the spring; in the summer I like to layer it with orange blossom lotion. In terms of wearability - on first spray, I would have called this a daytime perfume, but the more I wear it, the more I feel like it works at night too. I'd say performance is generally medium, with moderate sillage and longevity both. Like most Diptyque fragrances, I wouldn't consider this blind-buy safe because it's a bit niche/specific. But it IS a really, really great choice if you're looking for a slightly edgier floral with good performance. It also comes in a hair mist and lotion if you want to try it out without committing to a full perfume!

Testing Eau Capitale EDT from an official Diptique 2 ml sample. Eau Capitale EDT is instant love for me. It’s a wonderful, warm tuberose centred scent with supporting floral notes of orange blossoms, rose, iris plus benzoin, musk and pink pepper. It’s a heavenly scent, fresh, bright, warm spicy realistic smelling tuberose. This smells like you would hold a big bouquet of tuberose in full bloom in your hands and smell them up close in the air. It’s a dream come true type of scent for tuberose lovers like myself. Femininity in a bottle... I have more than a dozen of tuberose centred perfumes in my collection already, it’s my favourite flower alongside lilac, but I need Eau Capitale in my collection. This is a very lightweight, ethereal and classy tuberose scent. The right one fit for spring season wear. As soon as I can get a decent deal on it, because it’s an EDT, the performance is not great, I would add Eau Capitale to my collection without any second thoughts! Reminds me of Gucci Bloom and French Flower by Matiere Premiere. Gorgeous!

I was in the market for a classic, pure jasmine scent and was deciding between Do Son and Olene. I ended up choosing Do Son, and overall it was a good purchase— it's a lovely summery fragrance! However, if you're looking for a classic, sweet jasmine scent, I'd recommend Olene. What ended up happening was that Do Son had the stronger opening and better sillage, but once both fragrances dried down, Do Son became noticeably sharper (and even migraine-inducing at times), whereas Olene retained its soft, natural jasmine scent profile. I still stop by the store to sample spray Olene whenever I get the chance. Neither fragrance has exceptional sillage or longevity (you'll probably want to reapply after about 4–6 hours if you want to leave a noticeable trail). Do Son isn't a bad perfume by any means, but I don't find it particularly special. It reminds me a lot of Gucci Bloom (duh- both are white florals built around tuberose). Considering Do Son costs roughly twice as much, I was hoping for something a bit more distinctive.

This is not your average "fresh, green" fragrance. No. This is a CRISP green fragrance. It is the ULTIMATE green fragrance! Do Son literally embodies the term "green" for good reason. From the moment you spray, you are met with the brightest burst of tuberose and iris. The pink pepper provides a bit of shimmer and sparkle to the fragrance that really makes it shine, in my opinion. The rose note in this perfume is not so much floral as it is stemmy. And it works effortlessly in the mix. Clean musks finish off the smelling experience, making it an overall well-rounded and well-blended perfume. This is just the best "I want to feel fresh and clean" frag. A stunner during the springtime as well. Sileage and projection really surprised me here, especially considering it's an EDT. Longevity is what I expected - you'll get a solid 3 to 4 hours. I will always have a bottle of this on hand! Rating: 10/10

Do Son was my preferred choice of tuberose centered white floral of the last summer. For the almost constantly working girl in the summer, Do Son had successfully created the illusion of swimming in the sea and then jumping onto a bed of tuberoses, with their stems, to lay. Of course I have been wearing it in autumn and in the coldest winter that Greece is going through, and it still works amazing. Five hours with small projection is reasonable for a pure floral. No sweetness at all even though there is a slight hazy coconut effect, with an old-fashioned hair-spray opening, a green tropical intermediate stage and finally straight up tuberose with a prominent medicinal accord I love it when I get a medicinal effect out of a perfume, which I did not primarily expected from Do Son, and it came as a surprise. Lady-like, sensual, "grown-up" perfume. A perfume. One of the best from Diptyque

Ever since I accidentally dropped and broke my little travel spray bottle of tuberose-smelling Michael Kors perfume I have been searching and searching for an alternative. This is it!! A beautiful tuberose scent that keeps wafting up to my nose from my clothes throughout the day. Elegant, indulgent, and anything but shy. The EDT projects less than the Michael Kors one did, which is better for the daytime. Conventionally, floral perfumes usually are associated with spring and summer, but I find tuberose to be an underrated winter scent because of its strength. You can smell it in cold air, and then when entering a warmer indoor space, the smell seems to bloom all over again. I hope to acquire the Do Son EDP eventually, for evening wear. Season: anytime, in my opinion. Daytime wear 10/10 from me because it is what I was looking for. :)

When I use this, I feel so feminine and pretty when walking around. If smoothness was a scent, this would be it. Diptyque has perfected how to make a photorealistic perfume smell like a soft, smooth tuberose that has been covered in morning mist and the milkiness of the flower. You could almost feel the soft damp petals when you smell this. So far this is the only floral perfume that I found to have zero sharpness/screechiness. It has a creamy side to it which makes it rounded and beautiful. I only like to wear this when the temperature is below 80 degrees. If it's hot and humid, the milkiness of this can be suffocating and too cloying to me (I'm rather sensitive to strong perfumes, so it may be fine for you). I've also worn this to to sleep in because it's quite cozy and comforting.

This perfume smells like walking through a rainforest and smelling the humidity on very fresh green leaves and white flowers. Musk lurks in the background. Maybe that's because jungle animals are walking just behind you. There is no smell of forest dirt or humus though - ever present is the star, the tuberose; with its creamy, coconutty, carnal, almost narcotic qualities. A bit of powdery iris and fresh rose waft over the top. This is a white floral bouquet which some may not like, but I think the EDT at least, focuses more on providing the experience in its story (flowers, sea breeze) but I don't think that it goes overboard with sweetness or indoles at all. It's pure beauty, the whole way through. I would wear this day or night since I love white florals.

This perfume transports me straight to somewhere in the Mediterranean. I imagine myself living in an old stone villa. On an early summer morning I open the windows, and the scent of the nearby tuberose and jasmine bushes floods in filling the room. This is one of the most beautiful floral perfumes I've ever smelled. An airy, intoxicating, realistic tuberose scent that is perfect for spring and summer: feminine, indolic, timeless, elegant. The scent lingers on the skin for an incredibly long time, evolving into a softer, sweeter, and creamier aroma over time. Yet, the lovely lightness and airiness of the opening persist throughout the day, even into the drying phase. Do Son makes me euphoric, and I can't get enough of it.

ive always wanted a purely floral scent and this delivered. theres something so juicy and salivating with the way the jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom is blended in this perfume. on my skin, this blooms in waves. whenever i stay still for long periods of time, the scent disappears. but when i move or warm up or walk this just blooms softly without being screechy. theres also something very aquatic in this scent. to me it smells like wet jasmine flowers slowly drying after a brisk rain ikywim. and when i first tried it on my skin, it smelt burnt for some reason. idk why but it smelt like burnt, smokey bubblegum and i found it so weird that i bought this instantly.

I am an unabashed tuberose/white florals fan, so yeah, this is a hit for me. Bath and Body Works had a pure tuberose scent back in the day for like 5 seconds called Velvet Tuberose, I absolutely loved that fragrance (had the body cream) and this EDT very much reminds me of it. It’s just simple, slightly heady tuberose. Very feminine, classic floral. There is a touch of “greenery” in here as well so you get the impression of smelling the whole flower in nature. I did smell the EDP as well and I prefer the EDT, the EDT smells a bit “brighter” and has more green notes. This would be best in spring and summer but I love it so much I’ll wear it all year ‘round.

For me, tuberose had a high "learning curve." I guess that's to say it took me a while to understand and enjoy it as a perfume note. But now, I actively seek it out. Of the tuberose-centric, you've got your Gucci Bloom as a fresh, everyday tuberose, your Fracas as a grande-dame tuberose, your Truth or Dare as a billowing, candied tuberose, your Versace Blonde as a brash, slutty tuberose, your Carnal Flower as a mentholated, photorealistic tuberose, etc, etc. But then there's Do Son. A proper, but still sexy, tuberose, with just the right amount of musk and a perfectly calibrated smoothness. Truly special, unforgettable, and an absolute classic.

This has become one of my favorite scents, ever. It has a strong presence but in an elegant way. It's not overly complicated, which makes the notes shine. The projection is impressive and I can't stop myself from sniffing it all day. I think it also helps me have good dreams, too. The scent is comforting to me and doesn't smell like flowers in the distance or airy, but smells like you put your head into a bouquet from a fancy florist. I recommend only spraying one spray, because it is quite intense and potent. I think that the musk makes it less boring and dated, I think that it gives it a youthful quality.
