Fragrance Profile
Tam Dao Eau de Toilette captures the hush of Indochina’s sacred forests in a lighter, more transparent key. It begins with cypress and myrtle—crisp, aromatic facets that evoke the first cool breath inside a temple courtyard. Cedarwood then unfolds, adding a polished dryness reminiscent of time-smoothed altars. Finally, aged sandalwood reveals itself in milky, serene waves, whispering of incense slowly curling towards high rafters. The result is an elegant composition that feels cleansing rather than smoky: a quiet companion that anchors the mind without overwhelming the senses.
