I used to stick with Evelyn/Crabtree's version of aerosol sandalwood. Then I discovered Issey Miyake's L'eau D'Issey Pour Homme. Contains absolutely no civet butt (musk), and therefore does not end up smelling like the majority of men's colognes at the end of the day. Tommy Hilfigger, Hugo Boss, Yves St. Laurent all smell putrid and indistinguisable after a 8 hours, as do all men's colognes that use musk as a base. Enough with the musk.
Fortunately it costs a month's pension (almost) and no one has a clue that it exists except for those who spend a lot of idle time in airport duty-free shops. Nice light citrus with even lighter sandlewood and a hint of jasmine. Pump one spray of it in my bedroom and walk naked through the mist while I'm toweling off after my morning shower. Keeps me welcome among friends in closed rooms in a hot, humid, sweaty country and leaves a comfortable almost imperceptable scent in the bedroom.
Sadly, I've noticed Issey Miyake has come out with a woodsy musk-based cologne in a blue bottle for about 1/3 the price of the light green stuff I keep around. The Squeeze bought some and I made him get up and take a shower in the middle of the night because his first bedtime shower didn't wash his morning spritz completely away. Thank God for Roxana deoderant soaps.
I made the mistake of giving a bottle of Jade East to a friend as a gag gift last year. He'd never heard of it and unfortunately liked it. Oy! Memories of 7th grade!
