The review
Egyptian Sandalwood scores 5.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Tam Dao.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Tam Dao's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Diptyque Tam Dao is cypress and rosewood at first, sandalwood, cedar and myrtle at its heart and amber, musk and spices at the end. Alexandria Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

For the one who retreats into a hushed cedar temple, dry, creamy sandalwood and soft woods radiating calm, meditative warmth all day.
