I've been on such a sandalwood kick that it has been difficult to work through all my samples. I bought the AOS bath soap. It is rather expensive so I've try to limit it to weekend only use. You can probably imagine how that is going. Yes, weekends are 4-5 days long now in my house. I've started looking for less costly alteratives and have a bar of Mysore Sandal Soap coming in the mail. My understanding is that the scent of this soap is as authentic as it gets and for good reason. I'm also interested in Bee and Flower sandalwood soap. It gets good reviews and had nice packaging. Mistral/Mistril is another one that looks like a possibility. Any comments from those who have tried these soaps are welcome. I even bought incense sticks and a burner today. Haven't used in sense since college.

I really like what I understand is the authentic, Santalum Album scent. Of the sandalwood creams I've tried AOS and Proraso are head and shoulders above the rest. TOBs sandal wood has been described as "flowery" and I can't disagree. It performs well but isn't sandalwood to me. GFT is a nice smelling cream, but again no sandalwood. The skin food seems a bit more "sandalwoody" though. EJ smells more like cedar than anything else to me. Can anyone make comments about the "sandalwoodyness" of other products? Castleforbes perhaps? I've heard that QED made great sandalwood soap but no longer produces it.

I would love to find a sandalwood shampoo, deordorant, etc., that smells the way I would like it to. Nothing that I have seems to last more than a few minutes. I'm thinking about buying the AOS EDT or a bottle of Floris sandalwood off of eBay. Both are quite expensive.

Any one else daydream about their favorite scents while at work? What are they?
I LOVE me some sandalwood! I have TOBS sandalwood shaving cream, I dont have the aftershave balm, so I rub a little of the shave cream into my skin.
