This is a beautiful white floral, perfect for spring. Appropriate for all ages. Sillage is soft-medium, longevity is a couple of hours, which is expected for an EdT. I usually reapply halfway through the day. Definitely recommend and would repurchase.

**This review is for Diptyque Do Son EDT**
If you, for whatever reason, have tried to like tuberose scents and couldn’t seem to “get there”, I would suggest trying Diptyque Do Son EDT. I’ve never tried the EDP version, but I can attest to the universally likeable nature of the EDT. I received a sample of Do Son EDT with a Nordstrom purchase about 2 years ago and as soon as I smelled it I went online to order a full bottle. I personally love floral fragrances of all kinds, but I believe some people are turned off by floral perfumes because they can have a “dry” nature that gets the wearer sneezing (think Pleasures or J’adore). “Watery” floral perfumes can be the answer for that. There are two floral perfumes that have a watery nature: Do Son EDT and Marc Jacobs For Her (in the plain square bottle). So, instead of imagining a field of flowers, think a lotus flower floating in a pond. That’s what I mean by watery floral versus dry floral. Do Son EDT is fresh, pleasant, and has a balanced amount of sweetness from the tuberose. Tuberose can be aggressive in many ways: aggressively sweet, aggressively buttery, and almost fecal in some fragrances which, of course, is aggressive to most. Do Son is none of that. It’s very wearable for both daytime and nighttime, for work, school, and even dates. I think it would work in all seasons, but is probably best suited for spring and summer because it’s so light and fresh.
Do Son EDT has been compared a lot to Gucci Bloom. My thought: Gucci Bloom WISHES it was Do Son! There are some similarities in the beginning, but I’ve noticed Bloom gets very cheap and almost plastic smelling as time ticks on. Do Son remains fresh and pleasant to the end. The level of quality in Do Son is apparent when tested against Gucci Bloom.
Do Son EDT is lightly moderate in sillage and longevity. I wish it were longer lasting, but that would probably require a high dose of tuberose which would make it sweeter and heavier. I appreciate the lightness of its current form.
Also, I love the clean, classy bottle.

The fact that I bought this is a testament to why brands should have good staff in their stores. Purchased at the Larchmont Diptyque in LA – I went in looking for something spicy and more masculine. The salesperson essentially said “here’s what you’re looking for, but also, I just have a feeling that you should try this one” and handed me a sample of Do Son. Not sure if she was a mindreader or witch or what, because I have no idea why on earth she thought I should try this.
I hate florals. They give me a headache, they’re too girly, they’re often a bit generic. But after wearing this guy once, I was hooked and ran back to buy the full size EDP. It’s absolutely floral and has a sweetness to it, but it is tempered by a note of musk that turns it mysterious and sexy. The tuberose top note is very noticeable when you first spray it, but it dries down to a wonderful, seductive fragrance that lasts all day on me. It smells like a gorgeous, lush garden on a warm summer night.
It’s definitely not for everyone, but that’s what makes niche perfume brands so great – they don’t please everyone, because they don’t have to appeal to the masses. Packaging is gorgeous, as all Diptyque products are. I wish I could keep it out, but it’s expensive enough that I tuck it away to avoid it being affected by sunlight. Definitely recommend getting a sample, even if you’re a floral skeptic like me.

I like Diptyque, as their scents are usually pretty unisex. Not this one though, it is all about the tuberose. It’s a nice scent, but there is something synthetic about it that I find unappealing. In my opinion, it would be hard for a man to pull off. Which isn’t a bad thing, but it’s too floral for me.

*Review for solid perfume
I’ve been trying to expand my collection of perfumes so far and I have 3 from Diptyque (Do Son, Opone and 34 blvd st germain) the two latter ones are definitely more mature scents which remind me of like my grandmothers makeup bags or something but Do Son is a breath of fresh air.
The solid perfume formula definitely has that artificial and balmy scent to it. If you sniff hard enough theres a like tingly lemony scent I swear. When I first wore it, the tuberose scent was so overwhelming that I stopped but after a few weeks, the formula changed on my skin to a more subtle creamy flower (iris?) scent. The silage isn’t great (approximately 3 hours?) but it comes in a travel solid perfume size so it isn’t really an issue. I’d probably use this if I was going somewhere important and I needed to smell good at all times.
The packaging is definitely the most gorgeous part of the perfume (sorry) but it is honestly stunning. It comes in this hefty black metal case with the diptyque logo embossed on it – all very classy. It also comes with a grey suede bag to store the solid perfume in so it is travel friendly. Definitely no complaints on that.
On the meanwhile, I will probably be purchasing the solid perfume of this until I find another one that will replace this.

This review is for the EDT.
When I first smelled this I couldn’t work out what it reminded me of. After a while I realised: green tea. And a hint of old-fashioned bubble bath. I went back to the shops a few times over the following months to re-smell, along with other Diptyque fragrances. I can’t say I was bowled over by it, but it was pleasant and fresh and clean and slightly aquatic (which, to someone who was a tween in the mid-90s, still really appeals).
Then the last time I smelled it, earlier this week, I wanted to devote my full attention to it and didn’t try anything else at the same time and I tried it on my skin. It was a lot more complex and beautiful than I realised before. I fell in love.
Reader, I bought it.
It’s so heavenly. It’s floral of course, as it’s tuberose, but very green as well. It’s cool but also creamy. It’s light and easy to wear but has depth and dimension. Delicate and elegant. Bittersweet, which is where I think I got the green tea vibes. It is fairly linear, but I don’t mind (there’s the 90s again) as I feel there are enough subtleties and dimensions to keep it interesting.
I’ve obsessively trawled the Internet for reviews and see that some people think it smells artificial but to me it’s very natural and convincing. I haven’t smelled Fracas or Tubereuse Criminelle or anything so I can’t compare it to others.
If all my other perfumes disappeared, I’d happily wear just this. It’s cool and light and appropriate for daytime and office wear, but the sexy tuberoseness (tuberosity?!) makes it good for nighttime as well. However, I’m not sure it’s suitable for winter. You might want something a little warmer. Or, hang on, how about layering it? Ooh, I’ll have fun experimenting with that.
It lasts for several hours on me, though I’ll probably do a top-up spray at lunchtime. I’m not sure that it’s got massive sillage, but my partner says he gets pleasant wafts of or when I move around a room he’s in.
Wait, why am I even writing this? I don’t want other people to wear it. Don’t buy it, it’s rubbish!
What can I say? Wearing it makes me so so happy.

I should clarify that the EDP is the version I’d rate with 5 lippies while the EDT would take 3. So I’m rating with 4 as an overall impression.
The first I tried was the EDT which is the fresher/cleaner version, there might be some jasmine there along the tuberose. It was unltimately too cool/crisp for my liking but if you favor scents like Baiser Vole, Pleasures, Diorissimo or Gardenia Petale you might also enjoy this version.
The EDP is much warmer and creamier. I get nothing but straight up tuberose, maybe a touch of musk in the drydown but still very much in the background. Since tuberose has the tendency to dominate any composition many famous fragrances containing it come across as overly complex or ”busy”. Here it’s in the form of a very well mannered but not shy realistic blossom with no frills or other flowers to compete.
Overall I find it to be a very joyful fragrance, would be perfect for a wedding and still relaxed enough for any beautiful spring day. Performance is more like a happy medium; quite unlikely to smother anyone but retains some heft throughout. Still, very much a soliflore which lasts about 5-6 hours but they are five hours of pure bliss.
50ml of the EDT cost 70 euros, 100ml of EDT 90 euros and 75ml of EDP 110 euros.

I have DS EdP in a spray as part of a five fragrance manufacturers assorted coffret. It’s a sharp, aquatic tuberose that is a bit loud and brash on me. It screams perfume in a style reminiscent of the 1980s. I prefer FM Carnal Flower for a green tuberose that is A bit smoother or Lutens statement tuberose Criminelle or vintage Creed tuberose Indiana which comes across as warmer. DS smells a bit generic, and I am happier with three of the other scents in the coffret, namely Eau Duelle, Philosokos and Tam Dao, all office appropriate, year round safe scents (when I want something out of the ordinary, I prefer Andy Tauer). Those three are very wearable, if not the most exciting, which seems to be what Diptyque is striving for. I am not a white floral person in general and try to avoid aquatic accords in fragrance (perhaps due to an overdose of Dabidoff Cool water in the 1990s). Oddly tgiven the aquatic notes, it is also powdery and too sweet for my taste. f you want a tuberose that is different, Sotto Luna tuberose by andy tauer has gotten interesting reviews (I have not yet tried Sotto Tuberose, but love Sotto Gardenia).

So this was much, much better than EL Tuberose Gardenia in my opinion, for a tuberose fix. It’s lush and smooth and interesting, chic. It evolves over time and lasts well. I’ll re-purchase.

Oh my! This is absolutely gorg! I wanted a gardenia dupe but was somewhat sold by the sales person into this scent. Altho the top notes are tuberose, african orange flower rose… it is the perfect lily scent to me. Just like fresh cut lilies. I love it! Am i glad i found my very own signature scent after a long search… This is an uncommon scent among my friends and i like being different. This is something i would wear on my wedding day. I imagine smelling like lilies and the bridal bouquet to be this scent. Its so romantic and yes sickening-ly floral! Needs some getting used to by some. I got both the EDT & EDP ..I prefer the EDT version & funnily its lasts despite being EDT .. The EDP is stronger & a bit much for my olfactory. I would save this for intimate dates!! This is pricey but i def like it and dont mind paying. The simple packaging is also appealing … i like it classic…a label like from a 16th century printing … NICE!
