Cream Sandalwood No. 08 — Inspired by Diptyque Tam Dao Eau de Parfum (2013)

A fuller sandalwood composition with a creamy, almost polished texture. Cedar keeps it dry while amber and musk deepen the base, creating a serene but more persistent woody signature.

Fragrance Notes

Top Notes

Cypress and soft aromatic spice. The opening establishes the fragrance’s first burst of freshness, greenery, fruit or spice.

Heart Notes

Creamy sandalwood and cedar. This middle stage reveals the main identity of the scent once the opening begins to settle.

Base Notes

Amber, musk and a smooth resinous warmth. The drydown provides depth, texture and the longest-lasting impression on skin and clothing.

Overall Scent Summary

A fuller sandalwood composition with a creamy, almost polished texture. Cedar keeps it dry while amber and musk deepen the base, creating a serene but more persistent woody signature. Best worn during autumn, winter and cool evenings, especially for dinners, creative work and contemplative evening wear.

Estimated Longevity

• EDT: approximately 7–9 hours on skin.
• EDP: approximately 9–12 hours on skin, with a richer base and stronger presence.

Longevity is an estimate, not a performance guarantee. Skin chemistry, weather, spray count and fabric can change the result.

Style & Wearing Guide

Pair with cashmere, dark wool, suede and clean architectural silhouettes. Use two to four sprays for professional or shared indoor spaces, and one additional spray for outdoor or evening wear.

Perfumer’s Note

“This interpretation keeps the recognisable olfactory idea clear while refining the transitions from opening to heart and drydown for practical modern wear.”
