It was cooler, crisp, and pine-like, despite some of the warmth that I associate with drier cedar, and it took about a half hour for the fragrance to warm through with richer rosewood, lightly spiced amber, and a touch of powderiness. As the creamy, smooth sandalwood shifted upward and became the more dominant of the woods, the scent felt warmer and softer with rosewood peeking through. The drydown had a little bit of muskiness coupled with sandalwood and a subtle, ambery sweetness. Application For testing, I used 1/3 of a 0.7ml sample vial dabbed to the underside and topside of my wrist area on my left arm. I used an unscented moisturizer prior to applying the scent as this is also my swatching arm (aka, incredibly parched at any given moment) as I found scent did not hold well here otherwise. that violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including, but not limited to, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising); The spices and the amber I could unfortunately not perceive, but I can imagine very well that these two notes were used for completion.Meditate with a mantra of magnificence with Diptyque Tam Dao Eau de Parfum, a moderate intensity Eau de Parfum that cloaks the skin and summons the peace of the East. This blissful fragrance inspires the serenity of aromatherapy with an immaculate blend of sandalwood, rosewood, cypress and ambergris. It lasted for four hours until it was a skin-scent and about eight hours before it was quite difficult to detect on my skin. The sillage and projection were both on the lighter side even from initial application–it wafted from about five inches above my wrist initially and dropped closer within an hour. Personal Thoughts

Now a strong dark and distinctive spicy note can be perceived, which has a very discreet creamy touch and comes from the sandalwood.The lovely Helen from Bleeker Street's Diptyque boutique inquired recently: would I care to sample the new EDPs of Tam Dao and Eau Duelle? That was a no-brainer, my friends. I was already a longtime fan of the Tam Dao in eau de toilette, and I thoroughly enjoy Eau Duelle. The EDT version Tam Dao Eau de Toilette has been a regular in my office rotation for quite a while. Its blend of cedar, sandal and cypress woods gives off a long lasting mellow mood. That really gets me through the day. To my nose, the EDP and the EDT are almost interchangeable. Clearly, the components come from the same bottle. They form the same dry, barky woody dimension. More sandal? Not sure, that may as well be an effect of the increased concentration overall. One significant difference is how the EDP feels more 'spicy'. i suggest Tulsivivah! from Miller et Berteaux which is a super happy and comforting sandalwood with oranges and lemon, that fragrance really needs more attention and love because its great! 10 out of 10 Diptyque again, never a disappointment At first you can notice a fresh - ethereal note, which brings a nice light citric - woody, earthy touch and is due to the myrtle.
