Unfortunately I couldn't say. My only real experience with AOS has been with their Lavender products. Next time I get by an retailer that has AOS I'll be sure to grab a sample so I can give a better comparison
I'm with Mike, I really love the spicy / tangy D.R. Harris Sandalwood Aftershave....great stuff and I like how the scent lingers on me
The only sandalwood I've (so far) is Salter's. I like it very much, but I have nothing to compare it to scent-wise. ! I love the rich lather. I currently have Tryphon sandalwood on order.
When I was growing up, our neighbor was a widowed and retired woman who smoked like a chimney in her house. She also wore lots of perfume. I mowed her lawn, and I had to enter her home to get paid. I'll never forget the smell of stale cigarette smoke and whatever perfume she wore. Well, I actually did forget that nasty stench until the day I opened a jar of C&E Sandalwood shave cream. :sick007 So I guess my recommendation is to avoid C&E Sandalwood, but scents are very subjective things, so YMMV. Just to be fair, I love C&E Sienna, and I'd like to try the Nomad.
