The perfect tuberose soliflore

Can you believe I used to hate tuberose? It’s actually insane because I’m a huge tuberose fan now and LOVE to see it incorporated into many fragrances. While I love tuberose in many different interpretations and compositions, I particularly have a soft spot for the photorealistic tuberose scents. Ones that are strictly floral and natural, and that exactly what Do Son EDP is.

Do Son is a simple and easy with just four notes: tuberose, orange leaf, pink pepper, and musk. You get all four notes, but with tuberose obviously being at the center of attention. It’s slightly green and spicy, and dries down to a more musky tuberose scent. It’s not overly indolic, but tuberose is one of those white florals that always smells ever so slightly indolic to my nose. Even so, this fragrance feels so clean and easy to wear. I wore it out to my friends graduation brunch over the weekend and after reapplying it on myself, my sister and friend complimented me on how good it smelled. It has this alluring sexiness to it, but done in a very effortless way. It’s chic and smells expensive, but done in such a humble way. It has this beautiful duality to it while being such a simply composed scent. I just love it.

I have the EDP and *had* the EDT and I think the EDP is better by a long shot. The EDT is still nice, but definitely is not as tuberose-straight forward because of the other floral notes in the composition. The EDT gives more of an orange blossom-iris-tuberose vibe with benzoin, while the EDP is just mainly tuberose.

As with most Diptyques, the sillage is intimate to moderate but the longevity is very good. Another plus for Do Son (and honestly all the Diptyques) is the beautiful artistry of the bottles. They’re just so stunning to me and feel so classy to hold and wear. I promise you it’s all part of the experience. If you ever get a chance to try Do Son EDP, definitely don’t hesitate to give it a sniff and wear. This will be a permanent fixture in my collection for the spring and summer months.

Plain white

Do Son EdP is best observed from a distance. The trail it leaves in the air is magnificent. Consistently present, close to being a tuberose-'soliflor' and yet it is feather-light and inobtrusive.

When studied from up close, Do Son appears as a plain white floral blend. No frills, no drama. Similar to the EdT, the scent develops from jasmin-tuberose to orange blossom-tuberose. While the EdP feels less stingy and way smoother than the EdT, it is also kind of straightforward. The EdT has a salty sea breeze note, which provides personality and makes it more fun to wear if you ask me.

EDP - A Greener, Lush Interpretation

I have Do Son EDT and EDP, each on a separate wrist.

The orange leaf really shines and makes this fragrance. It’s all the glory and all the things you love about a white floral (there’s jasmine and orange blossom in there as well, not just tuberose), but in the shaded and dappled light of branches and foliage overhead. It’s greener and a little more neroli-like. For me, it’s my preference between the two.

Tuberose always gets this slutty reputation, “indolic” this, “seductive” that. Sensual, voluptuous, etc. But here in Do Son EDP, the tuberose is a little more reserved and subtle. More nuanced, I guess.

In some ways, it kind of reminds me of a more mature and greener version of Tocca Florence which is a lovely gardenia, but a bit too young and girly for my tastes.

Like a Memory of standing beside a Jasmine bush

When I first tested both the Do Son EDT and EDP on paper strips, back in my early fragrance days, the EDT was the clear winner. I was looking for a photorealistic white floral that captured the scent of jasmine in my grandmother’s garden in the Middle East.

But on skin? The EDP won. Hands down.

On skin, the EDP delivers beautifully on that photorealistic white floral experience, with a touch of orange blossom in the background that keeps it fresh and clean. The EDT, on the other hand, fell flat for me. And unlike many tuberose-heavy fragrances, neither version of Do Son gives off that indolic, almost fecal note that some jasmine or tuberose fragrances have (I’m looking at you, Olène!).

The Do Son EDP is the perfect white floral fragrance for anyone craving the scent of real, living jasmine—fresh, clean, and true to life. No rotten or fecal undertones in sight. It smells like you’re standing right next to a blooming jasmine bush, basking in that fresh and creamy, natural scent.

That said, this isn’t a safe blind buy. What Do Son delivers, it delivers unapologetically—you have to love what it’s going for to truly enjoy it: a pure, living jasmine bush in a summer garden. If you don’t have a soft spot for jasmine or aren’t already a little obsessed with tuberose, it might come across as too intense. And if you typically lean toward more conventional fragrances or blended florals, this one might feel a bit too raw or singular. But in my opinion, it’s absolutely worth trying. Especially on skin.

Very helpful Review 10

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.

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. 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.

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:*
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! :)
