Do Son Solid Perfum, 0.1 oz.

A solid perfume with notes of tuberose, orange blossom, and jasmine. Its scent brings to mind the sunset hour when the white flowers stand out against the darkness of the wooden pagoda. This fragrance was inspired by Yves Coueslant, one of Diptyque’s founders, who as a child spent his summers at the seaside in a pagoda that his father had built in Do Son, close to Ha Long Bay. Far from the humid heat of the large port in Haiphong, the air was cooler there. The sea breeze carried with it the heady and slightly spicy scent of tuberoses that his mother loved so much. Do Son has both, the delicateness and the persistence of a memory from a childhood in Indochina. At the Haiphong market, tuberoses are wrapped together with jasmine and ylang-ylang in large canna leaves to be used as offerings. This Fragrance Gesture is inspired by the enfleurage technique used in times past to capture the scent of flowers. Its alcohol-free wax is a scented balm that is applied with the fingertips, to reveal the sensuality and floral delicacy of the tuberoses of Do Son. Diptyque draws its inspiration from the history of perfume by reinventing the textures of scent to offer a new approach to personal scenting, deemed Fragrance Gestures. It is a way to make the invisible sensual and the ethereal tangible. Each of the gestures, eau de toilette, perfume oil, body mist, or body balm, has a specific concentrate designed to offer the best olfactory rendering depending on its formulation. With its high concentration, it can often be used alone depending on the moment and the mood. In its refillable case, it is portable and eco-responsible – an ideal gift. Tuberose, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Marine Accord How to Use: Apply the solid perfume on your pulse points with your fingertips, where your body gives off the most heat: on your wrists and inside your elbows, at the base of your neck, behind your ears, and on your décolleté. Once the perfume has been used up, reload the case with a solid perfume refill.
