AOS Sandalwood

David John

Just finished my CF Cedar & Sandalwood. I could not believe how easy it was to lather. I think just looking at it would bring the cream to life. Anyway, I did order the AOS Sandlewood as it seems to have a bit of a following here. Hope I won't be disappointed.

I use the AoS, and think you'll be just as pleased with it. I don't "twirl" the brush, just dip the tips for a ton of lather.

AOS Sandalwood is my go to favorite. It's probably the easiest to lather. It has natural Sandalwood EO, not the perfumy stuff a lot of companies use. Combine it with AOS Sandalwood soap and make a superlather.

I just found a AOS shop close to me (on the way to work in fact...) And I went in and smelled their creams (I walked out with lavender) but their Sandalwood smelled amazing to me. Granted the only other Sandalwood I have smelled is TOB, which was to much for me. But the AOS is nice, it's a more subtly scent. It's there but not over powering and fake? Smelling.

And with just once use of the lavender I was impressed with how fast and easy it was to lather. Granted the later wasn't amazing, but it was my first time using it (and I just used what was on the lid/seal thingy...)

I have built test lathers with the SC in the store, but so far I'm a dedicated soap guy. It seems to be the general consensus that AOS Sandalwood is the BEST sandalwood scent there is. I have pucks of both lavender and sandalwood, and sometimes it's a fight to pick which one to use since they're both fantastic. Sometimes it'll be a three-way fight between AOS sandalwood and lavender, and L'Occitane Cade!

One problem arises: if you superlather, you can use so little of each that it never runs out, so how can you justify buying more stuff.... oh, right, forgot where I was....never mind

The scent is great. Not overdone. Very balanced. Performance is pretty good I prefer the soap. But the creams are still very good.

AOS Sandlewood cream rocks! I am nearing the end of my tub, and I find myself "rationing" it, because I just don't want it to go away. Great stuff, one of my favorites.

I used AOS for a while thinking it was just OK and highly over-rated. Then out of frustration I increased the amount of product that I used and it really blew me away. The lather is completely different and AOS went from the back of my rotation to the front.
