For me this is a very special fragrance. As has been noted before, it does have similarities to Chanel's Egoiste but I find it considerably more wearable. The Chanel seems almost too perfect for me, no rough edges, like the woman with the perfectly made up face, all the contemporary designer clothes, immaculately presented, sunglasses who hangs out in places just to get seen there. Don't get me wrong, I wonder at the beauty of it, the craft, the ingenuity. I just don't feel particularly comfortable wearing it.
Trumpers Sandalwood is not like that. It is warmer, friendlier, it has creases it hasn't paused to iron out. It sometimes just goes where it need to go and then goes back home without waiting to be seen. It evolves too, turning around to show an ever changing range of different faces. It lacks the shrill aldehydes which characterise the chanel, replacing them with complex florals which sit deep inside in gentle balance.
