Diptyque Do Son: My first Diptyque purchase

So this month was my last in la belle France and I took the opportunity to pack in some crafty "Treat Yo Self" style goodbye gifts for yours truly - and how could I possibly leave France without a Diptyque au revoir purchase?

My choice was the lovely Do Son Eau de Parfum and a jolly beautiful one it was - it even came with two teeny testers that I got to choose too!

According to Diptyque, the Do Son scent is tuberose based and their description is a rather delicious one so I thought I'd quote them directly:

Tuberose asserts itself, expressing all its sunny, hazy, creamy, indolent seductiveness. Anyone with blood in their veins will succumb to the irresistible temptation of this insolently seductive white flower. (75ml)

Rather heavenly-sounding isn't it? Scent-wise I am definitely not that mad on the smell of this in the bottle or at the first spritz, but given about ten minutes to chill on the skin it becomes this wonderful, unique, feminine gorgeousness that I have to restrain myself from showering in. It is the only perfume I've ever sprayed on myself before bed, such is my addiction for this lovely stuff.

I haven't heard this scent spoken about much online but when testing these guys out (in Galeries Lafayette, Paris Haussman, for those that are interested) I tried the names that were familiar to me and none of them were for me. The very friendly chap behind the counter suggested this one after I told him I was a floral fan, looking for something young but sophisticated (and that I was a fan of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle). It really is lovely, lovely stuff, pretty long lasting though I've been spraying it on every hour or so just for the love of it!

Above is the very sweet pouch my choices were sent to me in; I also tried their Infused Facial Water which is definitely a luxe buy at £35 but a very nice treat to try; I also chose their Protective Moisturising Lotion which was also a decadent-to-the-point-of-eye-watering price point at a stonking £44.

They were wonderfully scented but very much out my price range, but getting to choose two samples, albeit miniature, 5 ml ones, was a nice touch. Well done Diptyque, well done.

But back to Do Son: even the back of the bottle is well thought out:

Just fabulous.

So it's a thumbs up from me for Do Son; I wonder what my next Diptyque purchase - hopefully in the very, very distant future - will be... Let me know if you have any recommendations!
