As a child, Yves Coueslant, one of Diptyque’s founders, spent his summers at the seaside in pagoda that his father had built in Do Son, close to Halong 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.
In this limited edition, Do Son is delicately embellished in blue. An evocation of fresh tuberoses mingling with the sea air, the turquoise water blending into the sky in the distance. Its scent brings to mind the sunset hour, when the white flowers stand out against the darkness of the wooden pagoda.
