The review

Indochina Forest scores 5.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Tam Dao.

The Dua Brand 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.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand 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. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

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.
