I really enjoy the smell of Taylor's Sandalwood shave cream, and Col Conk's bay rum soap. I saw this aftershave with both scents combined and couldn't wait to try it. I'm not sure if I got an off bottle, or if maybe my expectations were way out of line, but it sure doesn't smell like I expected. Both in the bottle, and on my skin it smells EXACTLY like holiday eggnog. I shook the bottle for a whole minute too. I even wore it for a few days, and the smell never really changed. My teenage daughters laughed at my, and my SO won't come near me when I have it on because I smell like the punch bowl from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. I really, really, really wanted to like this because I enjoy both sandalwood and bay rum, and this is a boutique style product, supporting small business, etc. Honestly, I'm not sure what to do with this bottle now, other than save it for the next holiday season and slip some into drinks. 3 stars because it does feel nice on the skin, and the scent possibly does appeal to some. If you know any hot women who get turned on by eggnog, I'll send you the rest of my bottle...
