    Ok - this is a bit of an anomaly for me. I love sandalwood in lots of oriental fragrances, and this one smells really great too. I can see why some reviewers compare this to Obsession, Poison etc,...

    Youth Dew, Obsession, Chloe and Opium came to my mind when I first tried Woody Sandalwood. Just like those four fragrances WS is deep golden/brown, intense, warm and unique. But this perfume oil is...

    kelsey is right, this stuff *is* sublime. i just dug out my bottle of this and applied it over bain du marais rose confiture mist (or any plain rose water would have this effect) and it's glorious....

    This stuff is absolutely sublime, but the interesting thing is that I get so many *other* notes in a scent that everyone else seems to report. For me, I get hyacinth mixed in the opening notes of...

    This scent, once it settles on my skin, smells like my grandpa. While I love my grandpa, I prefer not to smell like him. I should specify that it smells like the aftershave or cologne that my...

    Love its powdery and yet not oldish scent. Lasts well. Gives me a comforting warming feeling. I feel that the scent is "very me", ie strangers may think I am not wearing perfume , but the scent...

    Mmm! Woody, rich, long-lasting, soft, warm and comforting. This is a lovely, wearable everyday sandalwood that wears like a second skin and just gives a nice soothing aura. Awesome for layering,...

    An amazingly unique perfume oil. I never thought I could get used to using oil instead of a spray perfume but now I love the little package (with stick to apply) and throw it in my purse without...

    A great fragrance, it sort of reminds me of the sultry Youth Dew. This sandalwood is not dry, it's mixed in with something that to my nose smells like patchouli (which I usually like). Spicy yet...

    Ewww-this is awful. I love Tam Dao and really like sandalwood. This smells *nothing* like sandalwood at all. It has a very heavy smoked plastic smell and I think there must be patchouli in this,...

    I'm not sure about this one. After all the rave reviews, both in the review column and the discussion board, I expected more. Also, a year or so ago, I asked a woman who smelled amazingly...

    I’m a big fan of Guerlain’s Samsara because it has a lot of sandalwood in it. So I had to try this TBS’ Woody Sandalwood oil. I tried it like 3 times. Every time I got instant headache from the...

    True, dark sandalwood fragrance with an overlay of sweet warmth that gives it a more feminine style. Definitely sends a strong (maybe somewhat unrefined?)message - I'm not surprised at the "love...

    I used to love this as a room fragrance, with a drop on a lightbulb or on a lightbulb ring. I tried to wear it on myself, though, and my 3 year old daughter took one sniff and said "ewww, something...

    Woody Sandalwood is one of a handful of perfume oils that The Body Shop has brought back from oblivion. I wish they'd bring more of them back...I miss the days when The Body Shop had dozens of...

    This is a warm, deep, super-wood. I love it. The opening notes are - not unpleasant - but an unusual and very strong scent that I can't quite place. I almost want to call it a chemically/ozonic...

    My signature scent, too. People either love it or they hate it. I have had people buy it becuase they liked how it smelled on me, only to find that it smells different on them. Can be strong at...

    This is the worst fragrance I have ever worn. I bought this because of a review I read here and took it back in the same day. It gave me the worst headache. I would not buy this again.

    The absolute BEST ever! A rich mix of fragrant dark sandalwood (and definitely NOT the common sandalwood scent you usually smell) blended with something that's almost...patchouli, but not quite, so...
