Do Son is a realistic, indolic, incredibly heady tuberose with lots of pepper in the opening. I also get a fruity sweetness (almost like apricot) and a hint of a marine note. It makes me feel like I'm on holiday, totally blissful and relaxed. It is a linear scent, but I don't feel like that detracts from it. You definitely must be a white floral/tuberose lover to enjoy this one.

The EDT and EDP are remarkably similar for Diptyque. I would say the EDP is a touch more peppery and sits closer to the skin, so I actually prefer the EDT as it is airier and projects more. The two scents are very, very close however, and almost indistinguishable to me.

Compared to Carnal Flower, Do Son is sweeter, denser, and not nearly as green. I would say Carnal Flower is also more natural and realistic. They are different enough that I could have both, I think 😉

Do Son is one I will always have in my collection. If I had to pick only one Diptyque to keep, this would be it. My #1 favorite from the house. It brings me so much joy and peace, and is my favorite bedtime scent. 10/10

    I'm having a tuberose moment right now, but l'interdit rouge ultime is NOT warm weather friendly unfortunately. Do you mind if I ask if the tuberose pulls more like bubblegum or grape as it sometimes does? And how long would you say it lasts? I'm thinking about getting a large decant of this, it sounds so good!

      I don't think the tuberose smells particularly like either bubblegum or grape to me. Rather it's quite realistic and dewy. Though if I had to pick one I would go with bubblegum. The EDT easily lasts 6+ hours on skin and days on clothes.

      Oh my, that's actually quite good for an edt. Thanks for filling me in, I'm gonna have to get a decant of this asap!

      You're welcome! I hope you enjoy it. If this is too heady for you, I also recommend Gucci Bloom Ambrosia d'Oro for a very similar feel, but softer.
