Sandalwood Caswell Massey for women and men

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.

I bought this for a friend. It smelled lovely in the bottle--fresh light sandalwood. But it was so weak, so light, it disappeared. My friend drenched himself in it, in desperation. No use. Gone in a flash. Must be pure alcohol based, because it had absolutely no staying power. Enjoy it in the bottle, because once out, it's gone.

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 :)
