Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tam Dao Eau de Parfum

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.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Nous Sommes Amants. M.D. Eau de Parfum

This one's a divisive woody number - some find it an amazing, naturalistic palo santo dream, while others are left cold by its pencil-shavings vibe or limited staying power. Expect a crisp, peppery opening that settles into a soft, woody skin scent.

Season and Occasion Fit

Tam Dao Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

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.

Nous Sommes Amants. M.D. Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office Date

Given its woody and aromatic profile, and the general consensus that it's a soft, intimate performer, this is ideal for casual wear where close-quarters pleasantness is key. It's too subtle for formal events, and just a bit too distinctive for everyday office wear, but good for a relaxed date.
