Which Should You Buy?
The benchmark sandalwood for purists - Tam Dao EDP is creamy, dry, and quietly enveloping, radiating understated elegance. Perfect for those who want a meditative, wood-forward scent that never shouts.
Kashan is a Lattafa curveball, swerving away from their usual sweet offerings. It's a proper spicy wood bomb with a unique, divisive edge. Expect pencil shavings, soft fruit, and tonnes of pepper, but don't expect everyone to get it.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Tam Dao's focus on sandalwood and cedar makes it especially suited to cooler fall and winter air, where its creamy, dry woods bloom gently. Its powdery and soft projection allows it to work in spring, but the lack of freshness limits its summer appeal.
Occasions
Its subtle, refined woody character is highly versatile and office safe, ideal for daily and casual wear. The understated projection makes it less suited for sports or high-glamour formal events, but it works for intimate dates with lovers of woods.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and powerful longevity make it a versatile choice for casual and date settings. While some find it office-safe due to its clean character, its unique and sometimes polarising scent profile might be too much for formal or sporty occasions.
