It continues to be summer at the coastal resort Do Son, and toilet paper is also available!
Good evening you smelling pistons!
I come today to a brand that I like quite and which has also produced one of my favorite fragrances, namely Diptyque. Those who know me, will now say "sure you like Diptyque, after all, from which also comes the fig fragrance Philosykos and you are now a fig freak!". And that's true. As long as a fig does not smell stuffy (as it does in many fragrances but unfortunately), then I like fig very much, so you could already call me a little fig freak... so seen I'm really a freak... Comic freak, Star Wars freak, cat freak, trouble-the-Parfuma freak and and and :DD
Well anyway, today I come to a fragrance of which I had already tried the EDT, namely Do Son. However, that is now so long ago that I hardly know how Do Son had smelled at all. Sure, I could re-read my own comment,... but that's so much text!!! This endlessly babbling DonJuanDeCat writes for ages without getting to the point in the slightest!!! Who does all his text to himself??? Puuuh!... ne, there I rather write, publish afterwards and forget everything again (but you must read it), hö hö :D
By the way, the fragrance was named after a Vietnamese coastal area in Haiphong, where the father of Yves Coueslant (one of the founders of Diptyque) built a pagoda and where the family spent some nice summers. To commemorate these times, this fragrance is therefore also named after this place, i.e. Do Son, which, by the way, is also one of Diptyque's most famous fragrances. The EDT version I had yes as I said here already presented, now I try the EDP version.
Because soon again, the fragrance becomes softer and cleaner. I continue to smell the floral sweetness, but now more from a mix of jasmine and tuberose, in addition there is still neroli or orange blossom, although here now the bitter effect has faded. In addition, there are as mentioned clean notes, which even seem creamy and slightly powdery, as if iris were also included.
Towards the base, it remains as just described, only the fragrance is then a tad more floral, but also somehow smoother. In the very late base, however, the fragrance then seems slightly watered down, but this is still okay, because even then it does not smell bad. All in all, a nice fragrance, but for me now has no particular strengths.
@!Conclusion:*
So, since I just can not remember the EDT of this fragrance, I can therefore not really list any differences. I liked the scent because it comes across as fresh and I generally like notes like oranges and orange blossoms. Except for a small, stuffy part in the heart note, I thought the fragrance was good. Since it also has spicy notes, it is for me not only a fragrance for summer, but can also still be used well in the fall. As an occasion you can take many things here, whether leisure, going out or just during the day, I think the fragrance does well on many occasions. With this I would of course also recommend to a test, unless of course you can not do much with orange blossom, because this one smells here well and also long.
*sigh*
I would now also like to be somewhere on a coast like Thailand, where I could go swimming, slurp out coconuts, look at perfumas in bikinis (was yes clear that something like this would come from ME, so press times nen eye... :D) as well as many delicacies of Thai cuisine taste. A Thailand trip I would highly recommend in general and no, not because of what Thailand trips are so stereotypically known for, tssss.... you just have dirty thoughts, right?
(By the way, I had originally referred to Do Son as a Thai coastal area, it is more correctly a Vietnamese coastal area of course! Thanks for pointing that out to Prallina3000).
Well anyway think about it once the virus crisis is hopefully over sometime!
Oh yes: So that the crisis is faster rum, you must not only keep a nice distance from others, but also, for example, per week ONLY get ONE package toilet paper, then it is enough for ALL IN GERMANY, so really ... that with the toilet paper is really ridiculous. But also that you can't find any bread or toast is more than ridiculous, those things will normally NOT run out in the near future if everyone shops normally as usual instead of buying 15 packs of toast where 12 pack then spoil... so stupid!!!
Anyway, the scent is good and yes, test it quiet times! I'm back to the end and wish you now a nice evening, until next time and try to stay healthy AND sensible! :)

The EDT version I had yes as I said here already presented, now I try the EDP version.
The fragrance:
Do Son starts floral and sweet as well as with nice, green-fresh notes. On floral notes you can smell the sweet and a little heavy tuberose. Orange blossoms are present in the background, which are very slightly reminiscent of oranges, but smell more floral-lovely with a slightly bitter accent and a clean touch. In addition, there are spicy notes, however, this time these scents remind me a little less of pepper, as I had still written in the EDT version, but instead just smell like general, spicy notes. Over time, the scent becomes a tiny bit stuffier due to the florals and the orange note seems to increase a bit, but not for a very long time. Because soon again, the fragrance becomes softer and cleaner. I continue to smell the floral sweetness, but now more from a mix of jasmine and tuberose, in addition there is still neroli or orange blossom, although here now the bitter effect has faded.

All in all, a nice fragrance, but for me now has no particular strengths.
The sillage and the durability:
The sillage is rather mediocre. You do not necessarily have to get very close to smell the fragrance at you, but at long distances you can not perceive the fragrance either. The shelf life is good, as the fragrance lasts a little longer than eight hours. The flacon:
The bottle is a little oval, with a small rectangular recess at the top of the neck, where the neck of the bottle was let in. The label shows the same motif as the EDT (a pagoda on the coast), but here, as with all eau de parfum variants, is dark colored instead of being light. The bottle in general is very nice, especially since all fragrances also show a different motif, and is incidentally also good in the hand. @!Conclusion:*
