THEME In my years of darkness before discovering wetshaving, fragrances were just something nice I put on in the mornings before work. Now, much more educated, I actually know what the fragrance is and sandalwood was something I enjoyed before I knew what it was. Cap Choice sandal is just that! Straight out sandalwood at its core. No fluff, butter-me-up, messing around stuff just straight to the point as far as I can tell! So for being such a blunt scent it is awesome if you like strong scents. The lather was thick and the scent overwhelmed my bathroom as the shave went on.
In order to keep things thematic used their splash as well and finished it with a more subtle and gentle fragrance from goodfellow. The sandalwood is definitely there but gets mellowed out by the juniper.
