Sandalwood and Cypress Cologne Intense

This can be a unisex fragrance for those who love wood based perfumes. It would smell nice on a man or a woman. Layered over a cocoa butter lotion is my favorite way to wear this. I just purchased this and it was a steal that I found on a shopping excursion through TJ's bargain shelves. Ten bucks! Great find. I bought this one ounce cologne intense formula and it smells so good! Seriously this is like a parfum strength and since it is so strong it will only take one little spritz of this wonderful fragrance. If you love woody scents this warm sandalwood and cypress fragrance will make you a happy soul. I can see this being a wonderful layering scent to accentuate the woody components in fragrances. I can see it with all kinds of vanilla perfumes and amber based scents. Beautiful on it's own as well. Women can do some experimenting with perfumes marketed to men and find scents they love for wearing or layering.

I wore some of this yesterday because I've been missing my Coty Wild Woods. It's similar but the cypress makes it different. Personally, I like the cypress. It was a nice woodsy scent for the day but most of all I think as a layering scent to amp up any other fragrances you wish, this would be great. Especially if you find it for $10 at T.J. Maxx like I did! I may try layering it with my Kuumba Made Amber Paste. On a man AoS Sandalwood & Cypress CI would be a really nice, clean smelling, woodsy fragrance by it's self.

This is really good. I now have four different bottles from TAOS and this is a favorite (others are Green Lavender, Vetiver Citron, and Coriander and Cardamom). I have Proraso's Cypress & Vetyver and I believe Sandalwood & Cypress is a better fragrance and a better performer. This is a nice barbershop scent which, like all TAOS fragrances, works better in warmer weather. (FYI, I detect no urine scent.)

It’s basic, but it works really well. It reminds me of hunting the backwoods of my home state.

I tried this on at the AOS store. I know the 3 guys that work there really well. One of them gave me a sample of this and it it a very good cologne. At first you definitely smell the sandalwood and cypress. Then is settles into a nice woody fragrance. The only downside I have is this is a cologne intense and is not that strong. If they would have made this an EDT it would be perfect. The longevity is pretty good but the sillage is not due to being a cologne intense. This would be perfect for wearing to work as it would not offend anyone. If you were going to wear it going out, you would need multiple sprays. The Green Lavender smells really nice too. The Oud Suede is really nice if you like oud fragrances. One of the better oud ones on the market. The Vetiver Citron is extremely weak. You have to spray 3-4 sprays on your wrist to get get the full effect of the scent. The Coriander and Cardamom is nice if you like spicy ones. I would say go to an AOS store and try them before buying them. They have some nice Penhaligon's fragrances too.
