{"product_id":"diptyque-tam-dao-eau-de-toilette-sample","title":"Diptyque Tam Dao Eau de Toilette Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eDiptyque Tam Dao is an Eau de Toilette from Paris, created by Daniel Molière in 2003 and listed as unisex. It rests on only four notes: sandalwood, cedar, cypress and myrtle. The brand ties it to a childhood memory of its founder, sandalwood burned in the temples of Vietnam. A scent this simple lives on texture, so it is worth wearing before you buy a full bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSandalwood, Cedar, Cypress, Myrtle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA memory, not a recipe\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe idea behind Tam Dao is a recollection: the velvety, milky smell of sandalwood burned in holy forests in Vietnam, which founder Yves Coueslant never forgot. In the bottle that memory becomes sandalwood, and everything else is there to give it space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCedar, cypress, myrtle\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAround the sandalwood stand cedar, cypress and myrtle. Cedar is dry and upright, cypress cool and green, myrtle herbal and leafy. 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. A sample lets you try it in your own working week and see how it feels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhich concentration is the sample?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEau de Toilette, the same as the 100 ml bottle it is filled from. The lighter concentration matches the quiet character of the perfume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Diptyque","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67693366673562,"sku":"DG-DIP-TAM-DAO-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67693366706330,"sku":"DG-DIP-TAM-DAO-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67693331185818,"sku":"DG-DIP-TAM-DAO-010ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/diptyque-tam-dao-eau-de-toilette-sample.jpg?v=1791395722","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/diptyque-tam-dao-eau-de-toilette-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
