Byblos Sandalo
Byblos (2002)

Great impression of sandalwood, for the money. Yes, it's drug store level product, but the quality of the materials and blending do seem much better than everything on the same shelf.

Thumbs up for an entry level gander into the world of sandalwood.

6.5/10

I like the aromachemical they use here for Sandalwood. I have seen that before with Art of Shaving Sandalwood and incense sticks. It is the woodier rendition of SW - woods rather than oil.
The Prosaro line uses the same aromachemical for its sandalwood after shave (which is really good).
Byblos also has woody-spiciness in its base.

If you like AoS you are in for a treat. This one is much much better.

Bought this blind as I love sandalwood based on the previous review on this page.Love the softness of the fragrance and would say it is definately unisex.If a girl does not like florals this is a nice alternative without being in your face spicy a la Opium etc.Cant say that it is too strong but would be suitable for the autmn'winter daytime I think.Not too long lasting either but leaves a subtle scent on your skin.To me very natural smelling for the price.See this is made in Italy ,can comment that I dont often smell a bad Italian Fragrance!!

This is not just a fragrance for women. I purchased it in a discount bin at a very popular retail store because the box was stained. I didn't know it was for women and since I love sandalwood I promtly used it at home. As the evening wore on I was mesmerized by the subtle scent of sandalwood blended with the distict but not overly sweet aroma of vanilla which appeared to soften the sandalwood. At work the next day I recieved a couple of "you smell nice(s) from my peers. I like this a lot and will be purchasing more asap. I think its suitable for men or women.
