Floral Tuberose

Final Thoughts

If you crave Do Son’s vibe without the designer price tag, Floral Tuberose is a solid choice. The slightly synthetic edge is forgivable, especially considering the cost savings. However, true tuberose aficionados might miss the original’s depth and complexity. This is for the individual who likes their floral fragrance subtle and inoffensive; the kind of person who enjoys afternoon tea and quiet contemplation. If you demand the absolute best materials, yes. But for an everyday, pleasant tuberose, this clone delivers.

Notes & Nuances

Floral Tuberose opens with a bright, almost soapy orange blossom. It's pretty, and you can sense the kinship to Diptyque's Do Son. The iris adds a powdery softness, but it's a touch more synthetic here than the original's green stems. The tuberose emerges quickly, fleshy and sweet, though not as creamy or nuanced. Where Do Son feels like a garden at dusk, this is more like a florist's shop. The pink pepper attempts a playful bite, but the base settles into a soft, slightly generic musk. It's about 96% there. The biggest miss? The salty, oceanic undertone present in Do Son is absent, losing some of the original's breezy character.

How Long Does it Last?

This is a skin scent after about 4 hours. Initially, it projects moderately for the first hour, leaving a delicate trail. Longevity is decent clinging to clothes for about 6 hours, but it definitely fades quickly on skin. It’s intimate. Don't expect to fill a room.
