Tam Dao Eau de Parfum

Tam Dao Eau de Parfum by Diptyque is a deeply meditative, woody scent that centers on a refined and photorealistic sandalwood blended with cedar, coriander, ginger, and a subtle vanilla. It opens with a sharp, aromatic freshness—often described as pencil shavings or dried wood—with a hint of lime and ginger that adds a green, slightly peppery edge. The fragrance evolves into a creamy, smooth sandalwood drydown, balanced by powdery and musky undertones, creating a grounded, intimate experience that feels like walking through a quiet forest or temple. It performs best in cooler climates—autumn and winter—and is ideal for quiet, thoughtful moments, whether worn alone or layered with other scents. Its strength lies in its natural, linear elegance and serene depth, making it a favorite for those seeking a calming, introspective signature scent. However, it is finely balanced and minimalist—there is little projection, and longevity is modest, often fading to skin scent within three to four hours on most skin types.
