For the scent, WSP. It's a bit sharper than most, without the floral notes that ruin many sandalwoods for me.

A bit OT, but if you're into solid colognes give a try to Sandalwood & Stout (actually hops) from Etsy seller TerraViam. Very nice if you like a bit of bitter...

For the price of most soaps I doubt it is real Sandalwood, as it is very expensive

Ours is the real deal.

I like the traditional smell of the TOBS lineup including their sandalwood. I know that sense of smell can be highly variable and subjective from person to person.

Let me try to get you in neighborhood as best as possible per my nose. I have about 12 sdwd pux/creams.

Sir Henrys compared to all the rest :

Not as wet and rich woodsy as proraso red & First Canadian

Not at all cologne like as TOBS, St James, and DR Harris

Not sweet like Ethos, TFS Crazy Sdlwd, and Fine Santal

Not spicy like Geo Trumper Sandalwood

Similar to Stirling, T&H, Suavecito, and WSP Sandalwood - cousins

What sets this apart to my nose is there is a citrus green accord on top, maybe pine-conifer in with the wood. It is a 'dry green' Sandalwood, not spicy, cologney, and absent of vanilla or coconut [I get this on some sandalwood soaps]

Hope that helps

I have tried only 2 Sandalwood soaps so far.

St. James
Wet Shaving Products

The WSP in my opinion was more of a "pure" Sandalwood.  Seems like no other scents were added to take away from the Sandalwood aroma.  I really like it.

I have a sample of Sir Henry's that I need to try.  I am thinking it will be a "pure" Sandalwood as well.

You are right sir. Good way to describe both WSP and Sir Henry's.
