Paying homage to their origins, luxury parfumerie Diptyque takes us on an olfactory journey to Vietnam through the Do Son set.
Scents have a unique way of intertwining itself with our deepest and fondest memories. Just one whiff of a fragrance is all it takes to transport us to vivid places from the distant past. This year, French perfumery Diptyque dives deep into its origins with the release of the limited-edition Do Son set. Inspired by tranquil seaside resorts in Vietnam, it takes us on a sentimental trip down memory lane.
A Voyage to the Past
Do Son captures the essence of Diptyque co-founder Yves Coueslant’s childhood in the Vietnamese coastal town it’s named after. It is an ode to the cây hoa huê, a Vietnamese tuberose adored by Coueslant’s mother. Playing on the top notes, orange blossoms are mixed in, adding a layer of zest reminiscent of summer. For the heart notes, rose is blended in, capturing the delicate nature of one’s treasured youth. Lastly, iris, benzoin, and white musk make up the scent’s base notes, encapsulating softness and warmth.
Composed by the perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, Do Son is prominently featured in a wide array of Diptyque’s products. This includes parfums, eau de toilette, shower oils, and candles. Since its inception, the scent has captivated many as it continues to immerse us in an intoxicating blend of tuberoses and Vietnamese seas.
An Expedition of the Senses
In celebration of the parfumerie maison’s vibrant history, Diptyque releases a new limited edition Do Son set. Exemplifying Diptyque’s artisanal techniques, it highlights the brand’s dedication to stimulating the senses to tell a narrative. This collection also plunges you deeper into all the exuberant colors of Vietnam and its exceptional craftsmanship.
Partnering with Hanoi-based craftsmanship house, Hanoia, brings forth two new limited edition items. This includes a premium perfume gift set packaged in a lacquered wood case with a rattan lid. Inside is a 75ml Eau de Parfum in a bottle engraved with the scenery of Do Son. Meanwhile, the partnership also lends to the conception of a woven rattan lid for the medium scented Tubéreuse candle.
Other notable products from the collection include a 30ml and a 100ml eau de toilette, a 75ml eau de parfum, a 200ml shower oil, and a classic scented Tubéreuse candle in an opaque lacquered vessel.
From the red details and the wooden motif of the packaging to the artisanal scents reminiscent of Do Son seas, Diptyque’s latest collection is more than a simple fragrance. It unlocks a distinctly new experience, capturing Vietnam’s beauty, craftsmanship, and story.
