Art of Shaving Sandalwood

I've never used their shaving cream so I can't comment on that, but I do enjoy the cologne. It's an earthy sandalwood mixed with some eucalyptus on the open.
I really like the smell of the sandalwood after shave balm and the EdT. I actually picked up a bottle of the balm this past weekend because I liked it so much. The balm unfortunately has very little lasting power (at least for me). The lady at the AoS store sprayed the EdT on my wrist and it does last s little longer but honestly I wish it stayed strong for much longer than it does.
I smelled the cream as well while I was there and I'd say the cream is much softer than other products I mentioned but I have never used the cream and only smelled it in the container.

Trumpers' and Floris' sandalwood fragrances are both similar and better than the AoS sandalwood, in my opinion.
The AoS is too "bright" and candied for my liking.

Yes.
I use 2 sprays and it lasts all day and then some, it's one of my longer lasting scents. YMMV though, I think it may have to do with body chem.
Same here. The first time I sampled it I over sprayed and it literally made me sick. Spray it in moderation. It lasts all week.
I had a shave with AOS Sandalwood this morning.
Awesome shave!
Followed it up with some SCS Sandalwood AS mixed with Lucido Smooth Lotion. A match made in heaven!
The SCS scent is strong and pure. Nice as always from SCS!

To me, the AoS Sandalwood soap, balm and cologne all smell very similar. Don't know about the shave cream, though. It's a good sandalwood scent, IMO. Not too dry, not too sweet. Fairly long lasting. Cozy.

I have the Aftershave non-balm (forgot what they call it and it might be discontinued), the shaving soap and a decant of the EdT. I like the scent very much and have come close to buying a bottle of EdT (and probably will). I find them to be extremely long-lasting.
Wow, I wish the sandalwood lasted as long on me as it does on others. I really do like the scent.
Yes, as does the ASB. Not as sweet smelling as the vast majority of sandalwood products out there. I do like the soap better than the cream, FWIW.

Anyone?
Seems like it may have more of an oil base than many EdTs...last a long time on me. Pretty heavy, masculine true sandalwood scent. Not at all sweet.
One the few EdTs that seems to last from shower to end of work day.
Can't imagine myself wearing it in warm weather though.
Not a favorite of mine, but pretty distinctive quality frag especially if you like sandalwood.
Actually just went and checked my bottle- it bills itself as "essential oil." It's long lasting, I know that.
