Diptyque Tam Dao is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2003, created by Daniel Molière. Tam Dao opens with Myrtle, Cypress, and Rose, settles into a heart of Cedar and Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Spicy, Musk, Amber, and Rosewood. Diptyque's Tam Dao carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Tam Dao EDT is a subtle, photorealistic woody fragrance that evokes deep calm, but be warned: performance is often fleeting. It's a love-it-or-go-anosmic scent, so test before you commit.

Its intimate sillage and clean, woody accords make it highly suitable for the office and casual wear. While pleasant for a date, its lack of projection means it's for close encounters, and the casual, natural vibe makes it less ideal for formal settings.

About

Opens with an aromatic, green bite of cypress and myrtle before settling into a soft, creamy heart of sandalwood and cedar. A hint of rosewood, amber, and a gentle spicy-musk base lingers, creating a dry, natural, and remarkably tranquil woody aroma. It's like wandering through a quiet forest mist after a light rain, or sitting in a meditative wooden sauna.
