    A creamy zen sandalwood designed as Diptyque's homage to the meditative-temple smell of warm sandalwood, with cedar as the dry framing structure.

    Named after the Tam Dao national park in northern Vietnam, a sandalwood forest above the Hanoi plain that became the brief's central image.

    Consistently ranked among the top three sandalwood-centric niche fragrances alongside Le Labo Santal 33 and the Comme des Garçons Bois series.
