Funny you say that, I got TOBS Sandalwood aftershave balm a few years back, when I was very new to wetshaving and it's the reason why I long thought I hate the scent of sandalwood ๐Ÿ˜„

Yeah, later I would learn that many "older" sandalwood shaving products just naturally had all those florals and other things in there.
