Tam Dao by Diptyque is a study in smooth sandalwood, creamy and dry with a quiet warmth, composed by perfumer Daniel Moliere. Launched in 2003, it is unisex and suits anyone who prefers calm, woody scents without heavy sweetness. A brief flash of lime opens the top notes, then coriander and ginger bring a light, peppery spice that fades quickly. Sandalwood and cedar then take over as the heart notes, soft at the surface with a clean, dry edge beneath. Musk, vanilla and amber settle in last as base notes, adding a gentle sweetness that hugs the skin. Voters wear it in autumn and winter, by day and at night. Wearers mostly report long lasting longevity and moderate sillage. A 10ml decant gives you weeks to get to know a wood this soft.
