Let’s face it, our heavy, beast mode favorite perfumes aren’t made for this UAE summer heat. With the weather so hot, we need a light fragrance that won’t be overwhelming. We can barely breathe as is, and the last thing we need is our perfume suffocating us.
I say this as a gourmand, sweet, amber, rich fragrance lover myself. Put your regulars away this summer and reach for one of these florals instead. You can thank me later.

This scent is inspired by the heady scent of tuberoses gently carried by the warm sea breeze in the coastal town of Do Son in Vietnam, where Yves Coueslant, one of the founders of Diptyque, spent his summers as a child.
Do Son by Diptyque is a quite straightforward, vivid depiction of tuberose, iris, and a hint of rose. But the tuberose is the most dominant note. Therefore, you will either love or hate this scent, depending on your feelings about tuberose.
