Serene and calming. A contemplative fragrance. Great if you are doing serious studying or writing. Also nice to ease you into sleep. Sandalwood and other woody notes, dry and soothing.

This is my fave winter scent and I get lots of compliments. It smells of sandalwood and is very aromatic. Smells strong intially but has a soft but striking dry down. Love it!

Liked this one right away. Fig leaf and creamy sandalwood, hint of cedar. It's green but not too sharp (very unusual for me) and woody without amber or musk. It has enough creaminess and sweetness...

I usually love woody scents, especially sandalwood. But, man, this smelled exactly like just-cut lumber on me (with a turpentine or varnish note to boot). Not what I want to smell like. This was...

An incense fragrance well done. If you don't like Costes ,10 Corso Como ,this one may be for you.

This is one of my favorites. I wonder why, so many have characterized this as calming? That is not a bad attribute to have. A scent that leaves its wearer feeling more relaxed, happier, tranquil. ...

I too feel that this scent is not for me. It does have a calming effect but not something I want to smell like, I did remind me a bit of Bois Farine, but I like Bois Farine much better. This is...

I'm sad to be in the minority here, but this fragrance, although well done, just doesn't work for me. I find in all Diptyque fragrance a distinguished sense of raw material that somewhat disturbs...

Cannot be without it. Gawjuss. The opening is slightly messy, with pine and cedar tumbling over each other in their hurry to reach your nose. There's something unpleasantly sour-synthetic and...

Better as a home fragrance than a personal one. Heavy.

This fragrance has a very serene, calming presence. It isn't loud at all. I bet it would also work well as a layering scent. I am going to layer it with Olene, I bet it would give it more depth...

What a lovely, relaxing fragrance! I love all things woodsy, 10CC being my favorite, and this is in that same vein of fragrances. I find this to be a more dry and less sweet wood than 10CC (which...

Tam Dao is a warm sandalwood and cedar perfume which is very comforting and peaceful. It is clearly made of high quality ingredients and dries down beautifully with nary a jarring note. It reminded...

I love the scent but oh if only it would last longer. Not enough detectable layers for me but what is there is very calming and lovely. Can't go wrong with this one, it's utterly pleasant.

I tried this and got an overpowering scent of cedar. A blast really and every now and again I got whiff of a more accurate japanese cedar incense scent which CdG's Kyoto didn't have at all....

I keep getting a resinous cypress here and there which pushes this fragrance into being just "this much" too masculine for me. It is a lovely scent, and I enjoy the sandalwood ... but its not...

Another I reviewed as snakeskin. I've since learned to recognize the sweetness in the drydown as ambergris, combining with the (yes) creamy sandalwood. Really enjoying my sample this time. I still...

This scent works so well for me. Anyone who has visited SE Asia in the monsoonal season will get this scent. It's one of those evocative scents that instantly takes you to a different place in the...
