Taylor of Old Bond Street 100ml Luxury Sandalwood Cologne

Amazing long lasting scent. Great value for money for the size of bottle. Great old school scent.

Moved away from the over priced big brands to Taylor's not least as I do like the fragrance. The only downside to this is that I prefer a spray rather than splash on, but easy enough to get an atomiser and decant into it.

I first purchased my Taylors Luxury sandalwood cologne 3 years ago and have only just ordered another as the first is getting a little low. I absolutely love it, use it every day before work, and also after showers before going to bed as I find the scent very relaxing. I know the scent lasts through the day as one or two individuals have complemented me on it.

Purchased to use in conjunction with TOBS sandalwood shaving cream. Has a good lasting scent but it slightly differs to the scent of the cream (a bit inferior to my taste). Contains a bit of alcohol but doesn't dry my skin as much as other aftershaves do. Should last a good while as not much is needed and restrictor cap prevents using too much.

This is a very interesting fragrance. I tried a small splash when it first arrived and had two observations 1) Wow this is strong 2) I smell like I belong in an old peoples home. Oh well, send it back I thought. Anyway, With a busy evening ahead, I rushed out to see friends. By now the odour had calmed down a bit and the first reaction I got was " you smell nice"! What a lovely friend I thought. Being polite when I clearly smell like I've just bought a dirty suit from a charity shop. Next morning, I can still smell this stuff on me ( yes it really does last) and actually changed my mind. I quite like it I thought. That was even after a nice hot shower from which I emerged still smelling of it. So, off to work and time to experiment. On goes some more to see if anyone runs away, have tears in their eyes from the fumes or who knows. So far, two ladies have said " ooo you smell nice" ( implying that I usually stink perhaps) and, to be fair I now really like it. So chaps ( or ladies if you like a manly aroma), give it a go. It's certainly different but does grow on you and public opinion can't be wrong can it?

Sophisticated, manly, elegant... all those things that are so hard to come across in high street fashion brands, that try too hard to be too many things and usually make a male scent into something that is unisex or feminine, at a rip-off price. Classic fragrances though are becoming more fashionable again due to an increasing trend towards traditional shaving and also the fact that such scents have become more rare and distinctive in a crowd, so many will ask, hmmm... What is that? Smells expensive! Ooh you smell so manly! When you can usually pick up 3 bottles of classical scent for the price of a high street brand! Get your self a badger brush, a Merkur razor and some nice scented products and re-discover the lost art of traditional wet shaving! You will save money, smell great and have amazing skin. Trust me, if you haven't done so already - you will really enjoy it...

Impulse purchase after reading up in traditional versus fashion scents. If this is what sandalwood smells like, definitely not as I remember. Very very sweet smelling. A little like a cheap pot pourri, or for me a strong talcum powder! Wife dislikes it immensely and thinks it smells very cheap and old!! Have given 3 stars as perhaps it is meant to smell like sweet pot pourri and talc??

Excellent, love the smell
