Nice picks! I have used 3 of the 5. My favorites out of 20 plus scents I tried from PAA are Speakeasy, Deja Fougere, Sangre de Drago, Al-Fin, and all of the oud scents.

Please let us know what you think of them. I've been meaning to try Sandalwood so look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Greg,

I embarked on a mission to find a long lasting, true sandalwood aftershave a couple of months ago.   I bought at least 10 samples from various makers, but all of them smelled more like perfume than sandalwood.    Captain's Choice has the smell I was looking for, but the scent dissipated a couple of minutes after splashing it on.    

I was almost at the point of giving up when I ordered a sample of WSP Sandalwood.     Now this AS smells like real Sandalwood, it has staying power, the ingredients are great and it soothes the skin after a shave.    I never got around to order PAA's sandalwood AS - that was the next (and probably the last) sandalwood sample I was going to try.  

One of the aftershave samples I received, D.R. Harris Sandalwood, does not smell like sandalwood at all, but it is now one of my favorite (and best) aftershaves I own.   If you are not looking for a true sandalwood scent you might want to give this one a try.

I don't really have a large collection of aftershaves and I'm looking to correct that weakness right now I've got a couple of royall aftershaves a bunch of Avon, Old Spice and one or two from catie's bubbles so I am going on a mission and I'm going to try and hit up all the manufacturers for samples once I get them I'm going to try them evaluate them and give my opinion. My main preference is a very masculine scent nothing sweet has to be spicy & rich and must be a chick magnet.... my favorite cologne of all time is Braggi. if anyone's ever used that then you know where I'm coming from 2 would be Arammis maybe Halston but nothing comes close to Braggi. It's still available on eBay but people want crazy prices for it. I just might have to spring for some. Braggi is what James Bond would wear and I'm talking about Sean Connery not the other clowns.

I also went to the health food store the other day and they have Sandalwood essential oil a little 5 ml bottle was almost $30 I'm really thinking about springing for it then making my own.... if I do this I would like to send some people little samples to test it

Another one to check out is RazoRock Santal Royale. One of my favorite scents.
