Diptyque - Rituels - Do Son - Body Mist
As a child, Yves Coueslant, one of diptyque's founders, spent his summers at the seaside in the pagoda that his father had had built in Do Son in the Along Bay. Far from the sticky heat of the large port in Haiphong, the air was cooler. The sea breeze carried with it the intoxicating and slightly spicy scent of tuberoses that his mother so loved. Do Son has both the delicateness and the persistence of a memory from a childhood in Indochina. A memory of flowers, hovering between lightness and voluptuousness. In the eau de parfum, the tuberose is more enduring still. Its scent brings to mind the sundown hour, when the white flowers stand out in the darkness of the wooden pagoda. It is summertime in Indochina's Do Son Bay. The sea spray calms the tropical humidity, bringing the fragrance of fresh tuberoses with it. The mist has captured its silage like an invisible memory tattooing the skin with its scent. These micro drops with extracts of moisturising white lotus are themselves as light as a sea breeze. Sprayed onto the body like a perfume, this mist has an irresistibly soft, powdery finish.
