Sandalwood

very nice flowery-powdery-woody blend, tobs sandalwood fits good on a gentleman over 30, not modern but old-fashioned in a good way. of course the sandalwood is very prominent and the smell is the same of the shaving cream, which works perfectly on my skin. someone says it smells like an old grandpa, i know what they mean but to me tobs sandalwood reminds me a gentleman like Rupert Everett in "the importance of being Earnest". not cheap for a cologne or a/s, i found a good deal(20euros) on internet, but the quality is high. the performance is just ok, better in longevity than projection and sillage. better in cold seasons. the only bad side is the bottle without the atomizer, i dont like to splash the cologne. great scent, not for everyone so dont blind buy, i think the lovers of wet shaving like me will love it. colonia molto inglese, un pò terrosa e floreale con il sandalo in primo piano. non per tutti, va bene per chi ama fragranze dal gusto vintage e di qualità. per gli amanti della rasatura tradizionale come me. scent-8 long-7 sillage-6 uniqueness-7,5 versatility-7 bottle-6 compliment factor- 6,5 rebuy?yes my vote-8 in one word- english alternative- geo e. trumper sandalwood the review is based on the cologne.

Well 'ello there love! Fancy a cup of tea? Sorry, I had to get that out of way. When I first smelled this one, what immediately struck me was that this was a very proper English gentleman's fragrance. Not necessarily an upper-class high-society English gentleman, but definitely the sort of thing you'd imagine an English dandy in a tweed suit would wear. Think Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer in the "Just Like a Chap" video. The main notes I get from this are Sandalwood and Incense, which I absolutely love. Not only do I have a bottle of this scent, I also just finished up a tube of the matching shaving cream for it, but that's part of the reason I love it; it has that classic sandalwood shave cream smell to it. Is it a grandpa or "vintage" smell? Yep. Do I care? Not a bit, my good sir! Everything that is old becomes new once again sooner or later. :-) I don't think this one is entirerly suited for everyday wear, definitely not your blue-jeans and graphic-tee or going-to-work type fragrance. Save this one for when you're getting dressed up -- properly dressed up -- to go out somewhere.

Honestly probably my favorite scent of all time. I really don’t have much to say about it, because it just fits me. It’s like asking someone why they love their wife or why their favorite food is Thai food. Sometimes a feeling is just a feeling and you have no reason to explain. My friends ask me why i love this fragrance so much and i just say “well I just do it suites me” A warm, spicy, comforting smell that just makes me feel good inside. It is complex enough to keep me interested throughout the whole bottle, but simple enough to wear just about anywhere and any situation, though I find it slightly formal. I get mostly wood and powder, but also a bit of a lagerfield like orange and some cinnamon. It’s just really great, like a well made cigar or a classic movie you keep coming back too. It’s actually honestly the only fragrance I re-up on. Make sure to get the matching soap, which is of high quality and lathers well and last a long time.

I found this online for 20 dollars and what a joy to put on after a nice wet shave. Creamy sandalwood with some powdery notes, and a depth in the base as well. Of course, it is a cologne, so don't expect great longevity. But it makes you feel like a gentleman first thing in the morning. Honestly, I can't separate the individual notes because it is so well blended. Add to this some sandalwood shaving soap, and Black Pepper & Sandalwood EDP from Acca Kappa afterwards and I'm a happy camper. This has a splash top, but the hole is small enough that you won't be wasting any of it by mistake. A classic gentlemanly scent that is not dated, but most likely not appreciated by the young whippersnappers.

Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood... ...is a very beautiful classic scent which surrounds you with a certain warmth. While Proraso Sandalwood red is giving sandalwood an Italian touch, TOBS Sandalwood is adding some britishness to it. A soft opening transforms into a nice powdery sandalwood. Not old school. Not cheap, no Jovan Sex Appeal (?!). As a passionate wet shaver with way too many after shaves in his cabinet, I really appreciate TOBS Sandalwood.
