Would like share experience and get feedback.
Recently I got in wet shaving so started to try different shaving creams and soaps. Beeing in C&E (Crabtree and Evilyn ?) store I checked sandalwood shaving soap and I liked sandalwood scent so much that decided to check some colognes. Another day I was shopping in Prime Outlets and went into perfumes store. I asked for sandalwood scents and was suggested 3-4 ones (can not name them, already forgot). What I discovered non of them had well pronounced sandalwood. I decided to read about SW (sandalwood) scents here on BN, and feel that almost non of colognes have pure SW in them, mainly as one of components with SW hiding in deep.
I was checking eBay (am I unique? ;-) well and bought for cheap Sandalwood by Elizabeth Arden. Put it on today. As my theory starts to crystallize no well pronounced SW. But to me the dry down reminiscent me Eau Sauvage by Dior ! Anybody find it in the same lot? Interestingly, first is classified as SW and another as lemon or citrussy.
SW by E.Arden though little bit soapy, but not much. I am disappointed with lack of SW notes, but like it anyway as an (inexpensive!) alternative to ES Dior, which I like too. SW may be has little bit better power, I would say moderate.
Want to hear your thought too.
