They stop the sandalwood from becoming one soft block and push the scent toward wood and foliage instead of sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSoft and close\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNone of the four notes is loud, so the perfume stays near the skin, soft in texture with a dry edge. The milky character the brand mentions is still in view. Being an Eau de Toilette, it feels lighter than an Eau de Parfum of the same idea would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eApply it to clean, dry skin on a normal working day and notice how it sits at your desk and later when you are moving about. A quiet scent like this is best judged without distractions, so wear it on its own and give it a few different days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnyone who prefers wood to flowers and calm to sugar, and who wants to check how Tam Dao feels on them. The brand lists it as unisex. If you expect a creamy, sweet sandalwood, a sample will show whether the green, dry side of this version suits you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Diptyque Tam Dao as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA perfume with four notes gives you nowhere to hide: the sandalwood either feels right on you or not. Because texture matters more than a long list of notes, a 10 ml decant lets you live with it for several days before choosing the 100 ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is in the sample?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 10 ml decant of Diptyque Tam Dao Eau de Toilette in a glass spray vial, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample and Diptyque is not involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs Tam Dao only sandalwood?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSandalwood is the centre, with cedar, cypress and myrtle around it. These are the only four notes recorded, so expect a woody, leafy scent rather than a floral or fruity one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it suitable for the office?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a quiet Eau de Toilette that stays close to the skin, which suits shared spaces.
