Thread: Whats you favorite sandlewood soap? and why?

I am looking to get a sandalwood soap and am just wondering who likes what and why. I had a sliver of SRD and liked it very much. Thats my only reference for sandalwood.

I have the SRD as well as the Classic Shaving and like the SRD better although have mixed them together as well! I have been wanting to try the CF but havn't pulled the trigger yet but love the lather of the lime!

I have a tub of Fitjar Sandalwood SC. I find it to be a good traditional Sandalwood smell. Gotta smell deep into it to even get a good smell of it. Never used CF Cedarwood & Sandalwood, but used their Lavender AND Lime and they're great performers. They do fill up the bathroom with smell if you use them.

Ogallala Sandalwood with bayrum.. It's awesome.

I have used the classic shaving and the EJ, of those two I prefer the EJ

When I think of sandalwood I think of the fragrance of the incense . I haven't found a soap that matches it.

The only sandalwood I have is the intensely luxurious cream the Vulfix offers. Having not smelled sandalwood before, I have nothing to compare it to, but the scent is very strong.

The favorite Sandalwood for me is The Art of Shaving. I know there are other scents in there with it, but I really like that smell. The Ogallala is good stuff too.

Every time I go looking for Sandalwood, my benchmark is AOS. I like the scent of most real sandalwood though and the pure essential oil, is different from what most of us think it smells like.

For Soaps, I like SRD's Sandalwood. Creams, AOS isn't bad either. Nanny's silly soap from the UK is good as well. TOBS is a complete different type of sandalwood smell, like an old time barber shop sandalwood. Tobs sandalwood bath soap, AS Balms, and the shave cream, etc..all smell the same.

The Ogalla Sandalwood and Bayrum is excellent.

I like the TOBS sandalwood scent. But as mentioned before, it is a cream and I'm not sure if you're set on soaps.
