Love it, love it! Beautiful calming sandalwood, just sniffing it brings on a relaxed almost meditative mood. Could even see spraying this on sheets, it is that restful. My only gripe is the...

I have just discovered Tam Dao and I LOVE it. This is my new signature scent and I can see my self spending a small fortune on this scent!!! I am afraid I am not very good at describing...

Wonderful. I put this on the top of my list of light Orientals. It is a sandalwood fragrance, but rosewood and cedar share the leading role throughout its development. It is a woody fragrance...

It must be terribly difficult for the elephant to escape its cliché tiny enemy, the mouse. And so the noble sandalwood must be having hard time avoiding confusion with lumber. The first thing I...

Tam Dao is an earthy sandalwood, cedarwood, with maybe some grassy vetiver and animalic musc. Though I'm easily overwhelmed by woods, a very tiny pin-dot amount of Tam Dao feels comfortable and...

This is wonderful for colder weather, a smoky, incensey sandalwood. Very sexy and mysterious. I think of Mata Hari, Luisa Casati, Theda Bara and the like. I can't compare but it allows me to...

I received a sample of this with an order of Ambre Extreme, and am I ever glad I did! It was love at first sniff, and I ordered it immediately. My first impression was that it was similar to Bois...

This scent didn't surprise me at all, and smelled EXACTLY like I expected it to. It's very exotic yet it's disturbingly familiar; incense with a heavy, lush, vanilla underneath. It's very hippie...

A pretty incense that is smoky, dark maybe a hint of citrus or herbs. Mysterious, sophisticated, sensual and uplifting at the same time. Compare it to DK black cashmere but this one is unisex. It...

I don't usually like Dyptique. It's a perfumeur whose job I can't really understand. Then I tried Tam Dao... What a delicious Sandalwood! This is pure India! I smelled many sandalwood-based...

This is a very green sandalwood fragrance that dries down to the creamiest woody scent on my skin. I'm not a huge fan of woody scents but this one is so gorgeous I might just have to get a decant....

It's...uh...sandalwood. It's not unpleasant by any means (that's why it gets two lippies instead of one), but I agree with the reviewers who say that this is thin and lackluster. The lasting power...

Sampled from teensy vials numerous times before purchase, Tam Dao is yet another fragrance to add to my list of When Full Bottles Go Bad. I can't hazard to guess what might have gone wrong, but...

On my skin, this scent is a strong cedar, strong and fragrant. However, the sandalwood and other notes seem to be overpowered by the cedar and I end up smelling like I've been living in a cedarwood...

Cedar, as mentioned below. And very manly. Almost medicinal. Not for me AT ALL.

Wow, this scent just doesn't work with my particular chemistry. It's interesting to read the reviews from others complaining about it being too light and disappearing quickly. On me, it produced an...

A weak-limbed sandalwood gasping for its last breath. Indiscernable after ten minutes. It's a flailing arm to 10 CC, as though they were born of one and yet only one could survive, and it was not...

Tam Dao top notes - fabulous, evocative of my trips to Hong Kong and Japan. A mix of temples and rain forest in Borneo. After 3 minutes.Total disappointment. I'm getting a very faint cedar...

It doesn't seem to have vanilla notes, but that's what I get on my skin: creamy, too-sweet vanilla. Occasionally a whiff of a dry cedar sauna - I guess that must be the sandalwood. I think I...
