Awesome! I still like it a lot. It's got kind of a sawdust smell to it that sets it apart from other sandalwoods. Hope you like it!

Just got TOBS sandalwood today in the mail, and it's nice.
zizonia. It costs a fortune though, but it is as sandalwoody as sandalwood can get.
Dunhill Pursuit is good.
Got the Honeybee Gardens Sandalwood last week. My first stab at sandalwood fragrances. I'm very undecided about it. It's VERY unique compare to anything I've ever used. When it first goes on it smells a tad "medicinal" to me, but that dissipates fairly quickly. From there I can't put my finger on exactly what I'm not sold on about it.
Got pretty nuetral responses from the wife and office

Hmmm.. neutral's better than bad, isn't it?! lol
It smells like sawdust to me, not so much like a sandalwood scent, but sandalwood sawdust. That's what I like about it though. Sorry it doesn't work.

Oh I'm not saying it doesn't work. I just haven't quite figured it out yet. And neutral is definitely not bad LOL. It really is a very unique scent from what I usually wear so in that respect I like it because it is SO different.
Proraso Red is very good. I love to follow it with Hydrolast sandalwood conditioning balm and Dr. Harris Sandalwood aftershave.

I think one of the reasons I like it, is that I tend to layer it with other sandalwoods. Sometimes sandalwoods kind of conflict with each other, but this seems to mix right in with everything. So if I take a shower with sandalwood soap, use Proraso Red or TOBS Sandalwood, then throw this on afterwards, it all blends okay and kind of adds an extra dimension, if that makes sense.
Great suggestions from everyone. Tam Daomand Crabtreenand Evelyn worth testing for sure. I'll offer a suggestion that is more than just either sandalwood or amber but whose overall vibe and dry down I think you'll appreciate: Chanel Allure PH.
The proraso red is nice but a flatter Sandalwood.
Crabtree and Evelyn make a wonderful Sandalwood After Shave Balm. It lasts a long time and you can smell it throughout the day when you turn your head or run through a hallway with your arms spread out like a child

For an Amber fragrance I love Tom Ford's amber absolute. It's a straight forward linear amber scent that has great longevity. Unfortunately is no longer in production but if you get a chance you might be able to pick up a sample somewhere. Definitely check it out if you can.

Have you been spying on me Andrew?

Ogallala is not bad. Tough to beat the price for the quality.
I think perhaps you are looking for something like this -

I lucked out and snapped up a bottle before they, unfortunately, sold out within days.
Great stuff indeed.
