I think Crabtree & Evelyn and Trumpers sandalwood are both great scents! Hated DR Harris' sandalwood cologne or aftershave (can't remember which it was), but to each his own, right?
Caswell Massey for me! It smells a lot like Prorasso Red, but a little stronger. I use the shave cream, aftershave balm and sandalwood spray cologne Caswell Massey makes. One of my absolute favorite scents. View attachment 105898
I'm about to purchase WSP's Sandalwood for its description of being a "truer form" sandalwood(like your reaction to Harris).
Right now, my go to for Sandalwood (and it's pretty damn nice) is: Art of Shaving Sandalwood Soap Fine Accouterments Santal Absolut after shave splash Followed by a good amount of Taylor of Old Bond Street Luxury Sandalwood Cologne.
I didn't either until I got some WSP Formula T sandalwood. So far it is the only one I have liked. (I got it in exchange for another scent I bought but really did not like. The guarantee on their website is true.)
According to my recent visit to a crabtree and evelyn store the sandalwood has been discontinued. I never got a chance to smell it...
You could try a WTB post to see if anyone has one to sell you. To me, the scent is intoxicating, but again, to each his own
The scent is the same. The only difference is the soap base, which is vegan so has no tallow. Both soap bases are equally good, in my opinion.
