As a child, Yves Coueslant, one of diptyque’s founders, spent his summers in Do Son, in Along Bay. The sea breeze carried the heady and spicy scent of tuberoses. Do Son has the delicateness and persistence of a memory from a childhood in Indochina - the memory of a flower, between lightness and delight.
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.
