Diptyque - Kollektion 2024 - Do Son - Eau de Toilette
The charm of an exotic flower, surrounded by a refreshing sea breeze: In Diptyques Do Son, the tuberose unfolds its full sensual, floral splendor and passion - surrounded by the aromas of delicate jasmine and orange blossoms... and an invigorating, fresh sea accord.
The scent of a summer evening on the shores of Halong Bay!
Do Son - a perfume and its history
With Do Son, Diptyque captures an eternal childhood memory of Yves Coueslant - and makes it immortal...
As a child, the co-founder of Diptyque spent many a summer in Do Son, a district of the Vietnamese metropolis of Haiphong. There, on the edge of Halong Bay and on the shores of the Gulf of Tonkin, his father once had a pagoda built. This building, typical of (South) East Asia, was a really beautiful place to spend extended summer vacations...
In Do Son, the large port of Haiphong and its humid heat were far away, the air was noticeably cooler, the climate more pleasant. A fresh sea breeze blew around young Yves Coueslant's nose - and brought with it the beguiling, slightly sweet and spicy aroma of an exotic flower: the scent of tuberose! It probably came from the Haipong market, where tuberoses (along with ylang and jasmine flowers) were wrapped in large canna leaves for offerings.
The bottle
The perfume bottle of the Do Son Collection 2024 enchants with an illustration full of Far Eastern poetry: In keeping with the story of Do Son, the drawing shows a small pagoda surrounded by exotic plants, with a view of the sea and a boat with two sails. In the background, some of the karst rocks typical of Halong Bay can be seen.
