Bottle drawn in the shade of the fragrance
Tam Dao
Eau de toilette
Sandalwood from the sacred forests of Vietnam, velvety and barely spiced.
Tam Dao also draws on Yves Coueslant's Vietnamese childhood, and his memory of temples tucked away in the forests, with sandalwood smoke drifting out of them. The fragrance makes sandalwood its main subject, in a creamy, soft version.
Cedar and cypress give it structure, myrtle an aromatic, slightly green note. A calm, enveloping woody scent, to wear in any season.

Tam Dao in detail
Diptyque tells of travel memories and beloved landscapes in its fragrances. Tam Dao, an eau de toilette, evokes the sandalwood of the sacred forests of Vietnam: a soft, calm woody scent, velvety rather than smoky, that can be worn in any season.
The house lists its notes without sorting them into stages. Sandalwood is its heart, creamy and slightly milky. Cedarwood and cypress give it uprightness and a drier, almost resinous note. Myrtle, a Mediterranean shrub with aromatic leaves, adds a green, slightly spicy touch that brightens the whole.
Tam Dao is worn in spring, autumn and winter, by day or by night: at the office, at home, or as an everyday fragrance for those who love soft woods.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue share its materials: Drunk Lovers by Born To Stand Out brings together cypress, cedarwood and sandalwood in a more amber composition; Rehab by Initio Parfums Privés pairs cedarwood and sandalwood with lavender; Danaë by Argos finds cedarwood and sandalwood again, brightened by citrus.
