Received a sample of Tam Dao today, and was instantly transported back about 45 years and a half a world away. In the early 1960's was deployed to WestPac, and stopped in at the China Fleet Club in Hong Kong. There I purchased a small sandalwood box, like one would put on the dresser to hold cuff links, coins and the like. And that was Tam Dao!! The very same scent exactly!
