Ron, I would be interested in your thoughts on the Taylor Sandalwood cologne. I had mixed feelings on this one.

G'morning Scotto,
I am enjoying it as we type.. It is definitely not that "SINGLE NOTE" that is my favorite, but if I called it eau de Something Nice with Sandalwood, I would not be the least bit disappointed.
The dry-down is really interesting. I can't seem to put my finger on it other than it seems to have a bit of a powdery finish. Just sniffed at my forearm (hairy-retains fragrances for hours and hours) and I enjoyed it. Not for the sandalwood purist, but a really pleasant fragrance olio that has those nice hints of sandalwood, et al. Deodorant seems pretty effective too!

Thanks for the commentary, Ron. I agree with you. It does have that interesting dry-down. I find myself forgetting what specifically I put on, but being intrigued by the scent-sense (just coined that) that feels like I am in upper-crust society. Kind of a old-books-in-the-library sort of aroma. Interesting and different.

I took off from work to spend the day in NYC with my lovely wife, going to museums, a show, dinner, and.... L'Occitane See you guys later this weekend.

Shaved for the first time with the T&H soap - lovely stuff! Wooden bowl makes a real mess, though.

If A equals success, then the formula is:
A = X + Y + Z.

X is work
Y is Play
Z is keep your mouth shut

Hi boboakalfb,
Did you enjoy the D.R. Harris Pink Aftershave? I gave mine the sniff and feel tests. Both tests passing with flying colors (in particular pink).
