    I have a few sandalwood creams. They are all a little different. None of them are "offensive"

    I've tried quite a few sandalwood scented creams (Truefitt & Hill, Trumpers, AOS, TOBS and Proraso Red) and aside from the Proraso the TOBS is my favorite!

    I'd have to agree with AOS Sandalwood and the new Proraso Red. It's nice to have great quality products that are also fairly easy to find. And they smell fantastic.

    i found out quickly, I prefer mostly single scented items, nothing too complex with a variety of scents competing with each other. ie) Lime, Lavender, Coconut etc

    I agree, I LOVE TOBS shaving creams, so I pulled the trigger on some sandalwood cream. I agree with brucered it is just too perfumey for me.

    TOBS Sandalwood was my first TOBS cream, AS and cologne I bought, it remains my favorite TOBS product. I find the TOBS creams very easy on my face and great shaving performers. My wife loves the scent of the TOBS Sadalwood, however it does not smell that much like most other Sandalwoods out there: neither creams, soaps, ASB or colognes. It just has a fantastic scent, at least to me and swmbo.

    Amazing how one mans junk is anothers gold...for me, TOBS wsa my first cream and I just loved it from the performance to smell...and yet I feel the AS and cologne smell great but differ from the cream...CS indian sandalwood is a similiar scent yet Proraso red almost smells like wet paint to me...to me, Honeybee Garden Bayrum smells almost like sandalwood

    AoS and Proraso are all I've tried. Love 'em both so I just stopped there. I might have to get a sample of the QSC. It sounds intriguing.

    I agree about the the AS and cologne smelling different. I like them, but I find the soap, which I have, to be spicier. I kind of wish the AS and cologne smelled more like it.

    I found an aromatherapy lotion that was sandlewood and Rose. IT. WAS. AWESOME. I think it was from the bath and body works.

    Ive smelled Real sandalwood and its beautiful, But its very expensive and hard to get because of laws that protect the tree. The sandalwood scents that are sold in soaps aren't real sandalwood.
