Coral Skin Food vs other scents?

I use both the Coral and the Sandalwood skin food, I personally like the SW better.
Let me begin by saying that I like rose scents, most of the time. I have a tub of Cyril Salter Rose shaving cream that I use from time to time, and I am fond of SCS's rose ASM. I tried the coral skin food once. Just once. The smell was still so strong on me after two hours I felt obligated to wash it off, and I promptly found that bottle a new home via the BST forum. I have a sample of the Sandalwood skin food, and that smells most pleasing to me (though I've not yet used it).
Well, I guess I'm a contrarian: I love Skin Food, but hate the Coral (rose) scented one. I don't like rose scents (too "grandma" for me). I love the lime and sandalwood scents, though. The lime is really subtle (IMO) while the sandalwood has a little more "presence."
I like the Coral Skin Food. It was the first non-drugstore aftershave product I bought, and has performed great. I'm also a fan of the scent, as it complements any of the floral soaps or creams I use, in addition to the 'clean' scented soaps.
I had both the Coral and Limes. I prefer the Limes Skin Food. I think I'm on my 3rd / 4th bottle of the stuff...
I think it's just a matter of what scent you prefer as I have all 3 skin foods(coral, limes, sandalwood) and find that they all peform the same.
Does the Sandalwood version smell like their Sandalwood cologne? The cologne is pretty strong.

I smellled all 3 when I was in Trumpers 6 months or so ago and liked the Sandalwood the best, so I bought that. Simple as.
I prefer the Coral and don't find it greasy or long lasting on the scent, which is odd since the climate here in the summer is hot and humid.
I have all three. Use the Rose & Lime in the warm months and the Rose & Sandalwood in the colder months. They are all a wonderful indulgence.
Personally, I do not really care for the scent of the Coral skin food, and like the Sandalwood and Limes much better. I will put up a about 85% full 200 mL bottle up for trade on the B/S/T forum, trading for the same amount of the Limes.
I'm a big fan of the scent of the SW. For some reason I pick up a hint of ginger in it, which I really like. I like the Coral OK in the bottle, but I haven't put any on my face yet (I have the samples).
It's the same scent, but not as intense.
