All the fun of putting on perfume without any of that annoying fragrance. Starts woody, then becomes a kind of synthetic lime furniture polish which isn't unpleasant. Zero sillage, and completely...

In the past I have had Tam Dao in EDT concentration. Right now I have it in EDP concentration. I am a sandalwood lover, and it is very high quality in this fragrance. Diptyque's website says the...

I got this as a gift for my father, a former master woodworker before he lost his vision. He loves the scent of a wood workshop, so I was naturally enticed to treat him to some Tam Dao. It...

One of my top 3 favorites. This is a feminine woodsy fragrance with a hint of freshness. Hard to describe but it's smokey and delicate without being cloying like some other woodsy scents out there...

This is one of those "great scent, lousy chemistry" things: On my skin, TD starts out as the perfect sandalwood: Creamy, velvety smooth, meditative, introspective, exotic... The dream...

I've always been interested in the house of Diptyque and luckily I stumbled across this beauty when purchasing samples on eBay. This is now my signature fragrance. The perfect woody fragrance, not...

I love the smell of sandalwood but most sandalwood fragrances smell too figgy on me. Unfortunately Tam Dao is no exception. After a raw, robust and realistic start, it quickly mellows to a creamy...

Based on reviews here I purchased a sample vial to try out. I agree that a moderate dab or single spray finds this scent only lasting 2 hours and only noticeable to you. Be generous and perhaps dab...

I'm getting soft, creamy, wood, but wow. Like zero sillage. Obviously, I'd need to use more or this is indeed a wood for summertime wear.

This starts out with a sharp, green note, and shortly after dries down to a delicious, creamy sandalwood. It's a very pleasant, easy to wear, unisex fragrance, but has virtually no sillage. I have...

Far and away my favorite sandalwood to date. I have the lotion and the EdP. It's long lasting and smells fresh and sophisticated. Not a masculine.

Warm-weather sandalwood. Sometimes I get a whiff of a little citrus in its middle notes, but for the most part, this is a simple, linear woodsy scent. It’s light or sheer enough to handle extreme...

Sandalwood is my favorite scent, and from reviews and recommendations, Tam Dao promised to be just that. At first spritz, Tam Dao opens as a very, very dry cedarwood or pine, almost too...

Notes: rosewood, cypress, ambergris and sandalwood. As I apply this fragrance, I see vanilla and citrus, but on my skin the fragrance opens with bitter and woodsy notes. I see resinous cypress...

Very natural smelling perfume. I get mostly cedar with a bit of spicyness. Its a dry scent, no sweetness at all. It gets a little musky and soapy as it dries down on me. Overall its well done. I...

This is my HG #1. I first spritzed myself with this in a Blue Mercury store in Baltimore. I was initially horrified by the strong, sharp cedar smell. However, about fifteen minutes, I was wondering...

I usually love woodsy scents, but this isn't quite working on me. It's got some note that won't settle onto my skin right, and smells a bit too sharp and acrid for the first few hours--is that the...
