Tam Dao is the woody Eau de Toilette that Diptyque launched in 2003, composed by Daniel Molière. It draws on the childhood memories of Yves Coueslant, one of the house’s founders: the sacred forests of Vietnam and the sandalwood burned in their temples. Diptyque pairs the sandalwood with cedar, cypress and myrtle.
A flattened oval bottle in thick glass, a black cylindrical cap and Diptyque’s white oval label with black lettering.
Tam Dao comes in a flattened oval bottle of clear, thick and glossy glass, with rounded shoulders, set on a slightly flat base. The juice looks almost colorless.
A glossy black neck holds a black cylindrical cap. On the front, a white oval label with a double black border bears the name Tam Dao in stacked capitals, circled by the house’s address, 34 boulevard Saint-Germain, Paris 5e, written in an arc.
The 50 and 100 ml bottles can be refilled in some of the house’s boutiques, which offer refills for part of its Eaux de Toilette and Eaux de Parfum; the glass and the cardboard box are recyclable.
