This soap has a pleasant odor, but little of sandalwood; shame because that was the reason for my purchase. So it does not differ so much from other soaps. Since I bought at a soap stand in northern Germany Sandelholzseife that smells just by Sandel and by nothing else (and which is now unfortunately consumed), I know that there is that, but is probably still hard to find.
Anyone simply looking for a good and gutriechende soap and not too much emphasis on pure sandalwood, is well advised with this soap.
