What do reviewers say about Tam Dao and Santal 33?
Tam Dao is the anti-freshie. No bergamot sprint, no citrus gimmick. Just sandalwood doing what sandalwood does when it doesn't have to prove anything.Tam Dao
This fragrance is less a perfume and more an atmospheric event. The sandalwood is the anchor but the leather and papyrus make it interesting. Not everyone will appreciate the slightly feral quality.Santal 33
