Harsh, sour and foul – their discontinued Tricorn was/is a MUCH better sandalwood. This stuff smells like a bum pissed himself on a park bench – and this is coming from someone who loves skanky, animalic, musky scents. It might be somewhat intriguing when first applied, but it dries down to a nauseating stench.

This product contains some kind of inferior quality sandalwood that smells very woody and has a base note of a toilet bowl cleaner solution – indeed this product isn’t the authentic sandalwood from the past! I suppose there are some that enjoy this fragrance but suspect that they have never smelled the authentic and long-lost authentic sandalwood from years ago. It saddens me and find it misleading when the word ‘sandalwood’ is used in the marketing of these inferior products from trees other than what the authentic sandalwood came from. If one ever tried the authentic sandalwood the offer of this inferior quality concoction should prove offensive. Is there someone knowledgeable out there that could guide me to a good source of the real product?

I don’t know what pure sandalwood smells like (or Tam Dao, etc.) but this smelled so totally unlike the “classic” men’s colognes that I’ve come to expect from Caswell-Massey that I wasn’t even sure if the decant I got was the right stuff. It was more perfumey and perhaps white-musky than I expected, with seemingly little spice and too much sweetness within the creamy wood (really too bad, because otherwise I love creamy wood smells). It seemed entirely feminine, smelling like a middle-aged woman’s well-appointed bathroom, which is a nice smell, but not on me. I incidentally gave it to my mom to spray in her bathroom, so hopefully it will fulfill the niche to which I have so harshly relegated it.

I sprayed some of this on my arm today. Is this really what sandalwood smells like? For some reason the note is SO much more appealing in Guerlain Heritage…
Longevity is good. Not sure I liked this scent, however.

If there’s any sandalwood in this, it has to be Australian or synthetic. No matter. I wear it because I like the scent. It’s intensely lemony/piney upon application but becomes progressively caramellic and creamy as it dries down, the initial bitterness turning into a more woody note. It’s far from a complex fragrance but it has great longevity without overpowering sillage. I didn’t start out liking it as much as I do now but after wearing it for a few weeks and then getting bored with it and moving on to other things, I began to appreciate how it sticks in one’s olfactory memory. That doesn’t happen with a lot of scents. And this one has the benefit of being quite affordable.

I got this for a present. OooOOOooOoOOoh what an awful thing to smell on man or beast. Mine was unreal powerful…unreal. I threw mine away. I don’t even want to smell this wafting in the wind from anywhere in the world.

The scent of sandalwood enchants me, so fresh, warm and soothing. I’ve used Caswell Massey Sandalwood lotion for decades and it lasts at least 24 hours on me. I never tried the cologne, because the lotion is so fragrant. For those who find the cologne doesn’t last (cologne is the barest and most fleeting form of fragrance), I recommend the lotion instead.

If you love sandalwood you have got to have this one! It’s a beautiful warm and sweet authentic sandalwood, not the cheap synthetic kind you usually find. It’s only drawback is that it’s a bit “thin” and doesn’t have a lot of staying power. However CM makes a full line of Sandalwood products, even shampoo. The effect is much stronger if you layer it. I like to put the cologne on at bedtime, so nice drifting off to sleep in a cloud of this.

This did not work with my skin chemistry. Actually it didn’t even work in the bottle. Smelled just like the brown liquid used to polish teak or other dark wooden furniture.. Very dissapointed with this. But many love it, so try it for yourself 🙂
