I like the beginning of the opening, with the cypress/myrtle/rose smell. I don't like rose in general, but here it's bright and fresh, and not old school/dusty. It's also not feminine-leaning; if anything it's towards the masculine side. The opening disappears extremely quickly, though. As it starts to progress, the sandalwood comes out shortly after. It's more of the "pencil shavings" type of sandalwood and not the creamy kind. By the time it reaches the end, it develops a tobacco-like accord on me, in a slightly pungent way. I don't think it's badly done for what it is, but I just don't like this scent profile. Better for fans of earthier, deeply woodsy scents.

I usually avoid florals, they're just not my thing. Yet, my mom just loved fragrant flowers so if they're reminiscent of her favorites, I can be swayed. This is described as notes of Tuberose, Orange Blossom, Jasmine and Marine Accord. Shockingly, I really like this fragrance. It smells like something my mom would've loved. It reminds me of lily of the valley and gardenia, yet not cloying or too sweet. Jasmine and orange blossom are flowers I enjoy, with the tuberose it's perfectly balanced. Not too much rose. On the dry down it lightens a bit but I don't pick up any new notes. I can see layering it with a woodsy note to really get to my happy place, scent-wise. Maybe some cedar or sandalwood essential oil.

The Diptyque Philosykos Eau De Parfum packs a powerful punch of nature into every spritz. This alluring floral and woody scent, with its creamy fig, cedarwood, and olive tree notes, is sure to turn heads wherever you go. The combination of lush earthly elements creates a sensual yet subtle aroma that can easily be worn day or night. With its unique title derived from the Greek word for “friendship”, Diptyque’s Philosykos fragrance is ideally suited for those who appreciate the unique blend of pleasant yet mysterious scents.

Any more I cannot wear anything else. The alcohol content is too high for my skin nose with other brands. I stumbled upon DIPTYQUE by accident smelling candles at Nordstrom and fell in love with Do Son. The fragrant, natural oils used are true to its origins with very little change in scent. A little spray goes a long way for me each day - I’ve had my bottle for years. Never was a fan of tuberose until DIPTYQUE. It’s a heavy fragrant floral that’s clean great for year round. While I own other scents, Do Son is my go to, day or night, work or play. I’m always complimented on how I smell…even the men love it. Worth every dime so long as you use sparingly and take care of where you store it: dark area away from light/sun exposure.

Diptyque Do Son

The Diptyque Do Son Eau de Parfum is a beautiful fragrance that is sure to please those who enjoy white-floral scents. However, for those who prefer a different type of fragrance, this may not be the best choice. The scent is a beautiful blend of tuberose, orange blossom, and jasmine, creating a unique and captivating aroma. The fragrance is long-lasting, ensuring you can enjoy its alluring, shimmering scent throughout the day. The packaging is elegant and sophisticated, reflecting the timeless appeal of Diptyque. Overall, a beautiful fragrance that is worth trying for those who appreciate the white-floral creations.

Exotic Floral

Received this as a sample to try. Apparently one of the brand's founders took inspiration from summers sea breeze and created this fragrance. Multi layered notes of tuberose, orange blossom and jasmine, with the latter being the most prominent for me. Dries down to a floral, musk and powdery scent. Good longevity despite being an eau de toilette. Perfect for summer as not heavy, another irresistible delight from Diptyque.

Great Spring/Summer scent

This is a beautiful green, woody fig scent! It makes me feel like I am living out my cottage-core dreams on a Greek island. This perfume made me realize how much I love green notes. The fig is almost photorealistic--it is backed by a delicious creaminess and sharp green/wood note, replicating the branches of a tree. This is a beautiful light-skin scent for spring and summer. The EDT does not have excellent projection or longevity, but I still love it anyway--the uniqueness of this scent and the happiness it brings me is worth it. For the price, I would recommend sampling before buying, but I think this scent would work for many people.

Heavy, masculine but beautiful

I picked this up for my boyfriend for his birthday a couple of years ago. I love this scent on him however it’s not one I personally would describe as unisex (I for reference wear Do son as my daily wearer, a definite unisex scent), Tam Dao is more of a heavy, woody/spicy scent, maybe an evening scent for some women. This scent is always the one I pick out for him to wear from his collection, it’s like nothing I’ve ever smelt, not your typical man’s cologne at all! He always gets questions about it and loves having a scent that’s a little bit special and not something everyone’s wearing.

In a league of its own ❤️

Diptyque's 'Do Son' Eau de Parfum is a true standout in the fragrance world. Its unique blend of floral and spicy notes creates a scent that is both captivating and beautiful. The top notes of tuberose, orange blossom, and violet leaf are light and fresh, while the heart notes of ylang-ylang and rose add a rich and romantic touch. The base notes of tonka bean and benzoin provide a warm and comforting finish. The combination of these scents makes 'Do Son' a truly one-of-a-kind fragrance, unlike anything else on the market. The longevity and projection of this scent are exceptional, making it a must-have for any fragrance lover. If you're looking for a scent that's truly unique, beautiful, and truly in a league of its own, 'Do Son' by Diptyque is definitely worth trying.

Quality Fragrance

I actually bought this at Neimans but thought I’d leave a review here. Wasn’t sure at first when I bought this that I would love it but I do! I get compliments all the time and always ask what Fragrance I’m wearing. This is totally worth the price and a little goes along way but I spray all over my body before getting dressed. The scent lasts all day! Plus it’s different from what’s out there. I am a Jo Malone loyalist but Diptyque goes toe to toe and last longer. 10/10 recommend if you love Fig scents
