The Tam Dao Eau de Parfum extends Diptyque’s 2003 Eau de Toilette, a childhood memory of Yves Coueslant in the sacred forests of Vietnam, where sandalwood was burned in the temples. The house has Asian spices seize the sandalwood and its creamy nuances, alongside cedar, cypress, coriander and myrtle.
Diptyque’s flattened oval bottle in thick glass, with a black cylindrical cap and a black oval label with white lettering.
The Eau de Parfum comes in a flattened oval bottle of clear, thick and glossy glass, with rounded shoulders, set on a slightly flat base. The juice takes on a pale yellow tint.
A glossy black neck holds a black cylindrical cap. The oval label reverses the colors of the Eau de Toilette: on a black ground circled by a light border, the name Tam Dao in stacked white capitals and the house’s address, 34 boulevard Saint-Germain, Paris 5e, in an arc.
The 75 ml bottle can be refilled with the original juice in some of the house’s boutiques, and the house points out that the glass and the cardboard box are recyclable.
