I got a sample of Tam Dao because of all the review that this is the closest thing to pure sandalwood. I own some sandal wood chips that i burn as incense, so i know what the real thing smells like.. to me Tam Dao smells nothing like sandalwood. I detect no sandalwood but a synthetic note that i guess is supposed to be sandalwood? Do you detect any sandalwood in Tam Dao?

A nice green top note develops into a good iris scent with a hint o light wood - a bit synthetic but all right. Gone after ninety minutes on my skin. Nice while it lasts and quite unlike others.

An all right citrus-vetiver freshness, counterbalanced by pepper, wood and later in the drydown some incense notes. A standard theme played out often and nothing special.
