The review

On paper, Roots is one of the strongest bets if you want Tam Dao for less.

Bujairami 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.

It is sold as a parfum — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $33 per 100ml it costs 91% less than Tam Dao — the cheapest of 4 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Bujairami 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

The original opens on cypress and rosewood, turns to sandalwood, cedar and myrtle, and settles into amber, musk and spices. That is the brief Roots is working from.

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