Generally speaking I can’t admit to being a big fan of most fragrance. Personally day to day I don’t tend to use them because if I’m around overly strong smells consistency throughout the day I tend to get a headache. So I like to save my fragrances for either when I go out at night or over the weekends. Diptyque Do Son ($90/$125USD or $120/$148AUD) is probably one fo the few exceptions, as it is certainly a scent I have and could continue to wear on a regular basis. And I honestly would if it didn’t cost a arm and a leg!
I’m not the best at describing scents, but I know what I like. Usually I love subtle sweet scents, in this case Do Son has a beautiful floral Jasmine scent that reminds me of Jasmine tea (my favourite!) which is part of why I’m completely okay with having this scent constantly linger.
It’s going to be hard to describe and may potentially come off a little superficial (but let’s be honest, this is a beauty / fashion blog so superficiality is what I’m all about), but the thing I love most about Diptyque scents is how luxurious they smell. It smells expensive and actually leaves me feeling very content, happy and strangely accomplished? Weird I know, but it’s one of the reasons I felt the need to blog about this scent because it does leaving me feeling so great afterwards.
However as mentioned earlier, the price point is pretty steep and so I like to actually only use this on special occasions. The rest of the time it has become a permanent fixture on my desk at home 🙂
You can pick up a bottle for yourself at either Nordstrom or Mecca.
That’s exactly how I feel about perfumes! I don’t find the need to use it every day and even when I do, I find that the smells can be a bit overpowering for me. One of my all time favourite perfumes is the Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom and Honey except the price is just so steep for so an everyday product! So I just save it for the super special occasions!
