I have used Crabtree and Evelyn cream for years. I live in England and there is an outlet shop nearby. I stock up when they put an offer on the cream. The sandlewood is good but the almond is better. I've also used Taylor's and it is richer than Crabtrees, but I woldn't say better. This said just yesterday I treated myself to a tub of Geo,F.Trumpers sandlewood cream. This cream is in a different league its rich, creamy, well perfumed and leaves your face feeling great. You don't need much to fill the brush. You get a bit more in the tub than the other soap suppliers so the price looks high, but it isn't. Now they should open an outlet store near me. Check out www.mankind.co.uk if you want to get a feel of the rang of stuff on offer nowdays. They sell Trumpers creams as well as the soaps. Good stuff.
