The review
On paper, Tam Dao is a reasonable bet if you want Tam Dao for less.
Oil Perfumery 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.
At $133 per 100ml it costs 62% less than Tam Dao — the 4th cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oil Perfumery 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 Tam Dao is working from.
Top
- cypress
- rosewood
Heart
- sandalwood
- cedar
- myrtle
Base
- amber
- musk
- spices
For the one who retreats into a hushed cedar temple, dry, creamy sandalwood and soft woods radiating calm, meditative warmth all day.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 4 twins of Diptyque Tam Dao we can price, Tam Dao is number 4 on price per 100ml.
