TOBS Sandalwood

I like the scent of TOBS Sandalwood cream. Is their Sandalwood cologne the same scent or is it quite different as is sometimes the case?

Al, IMO, it's very similiar. If you like the scent of the cream, you'll probably like the cologne and A/S as well. I wear the Taylor Sandalwood cologne but the scent of the cream, while I like it, is a little strong for me. You should be fine.

Agree 100% with Gordon! Very nice scent!

Now my nose says they are different. The Sandalwood A/S is like an old sweet sherry, and is possibly the cologne that is most tempting to drink of any I have smelled. The cream is a raw unsweetened wood. In fact, you could characterise them as being similar to the olfactory and gustatory relationships of fresh black unsweetened coffee and the same with a couple of spoons of brown sugar stirred in.

That's an awesome description Chris -- just wanted to say that!

Chris, They're certainly not identical, but they are quite similiar, which is what I think the OP was asking about. He was concerned that they might be REALLY different, like Trumpers Sandalwood shave soap and their Sandalwood Cologne....that sort of thing.

Quite correct, however it is always interesting to get different takes on these things. Thank you all

Chris,

Good to know that if I don't care for it as a cologne, I can always drink it some night after dinner

Before, please. It doesn't smell like port!

I also find the cologne and cream smell different. For me, the cologne is much, much better.
