Thread: saving castel forbes ceder sandelwood

ok so i pulled the trigger on castel forbes. and sence flowers and fruit are not not what i want to smell like, i opted for the sandelwood . well the cream is not hyped at all,
its every bit as good as i was led to believe.
the sandelwood ceder sent was allso every bit as bad as i was told it was. smells like moldy sawdust. is there anyway to fix this? any ideas??
i hate to throw it out but its not useable as it is

Leave it open for a week or so. The smell should diminish, but not completely. The texture however will become more solid like a soap. Thats the trade off. Performance will still be up there.

I got a sample of it and quite like it. If you really hate it, I have some virtually unused TOBS cream and others Id be willing to trade it for.

thanks for the tip ill give it a try.

Learn to love the Lavender...

The lime smells nice, but that doesn't really help you :/

i guess i should try to getalong with flowers anf fruit but being a truckdriver and smelling of flowers .... naw it just dont fit. maybe i should mix a dab of desel in it?or some isly single malt??ß hmmmmm

Well the lime doesn't smell feminine, and, even with the lavender, the smell DEFINITELY doesn't cling to you. Any cologne/aftershave will obliterate the smell, and it's just that much more pleasant while you're using it

I have the lime and have sampled the lavender. As Robin said in his review; the lime reminds me of cutting open a lime straight off a tree in a mediterranean country - a welcome scent. I don't like lavender too much, so had to pass on that one.

If the scent is that foul to your nose then you could always save it for Uberlather, just mix it with a soap that is more appealing to you. I've used CF for uber and it's amazing.

I hate CF, chime in here Lynn, anytime lol.
