The review

Strong contender. That is where Sacred Sandalwood 2074 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Tam Dao.

Perfume Parlour 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 an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $122 per 100ml it costs 65% less than Tam Dao — the 3rd cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
