So I finally tried it!

I was really excited about this one. I adore sandalwood, so I was sure this was going to be the best Libre flanker ever.

Well... It's not bad but it's kinda... boring maybe?! I don't know. The sandalwood is barely there and it's not really smooth. Aftershave vibes?! I will have to give it another proper try to be sure. I think my expectations were just a little high.

    I love sandalwood and the Libre line, having nearly every flanker. I got this as soon as it came out; I like it but don't love it as much as I'd hoped. I'm waiting until it's not 90 degrees outside to try it again.

      Exactly, really wanted to love it but something is missing. I will definitely try it again sometime in the future.

    Sandalwood can be a tricky one for me, so I wasn’t getting excited about this one… and I’m thinking I might like this is the sandalwood is barely there lol.

      I've read different opinions. Some say that sandalwood is there and harsh and masculine. But I honestly got more lavender than sandalwood. You might like this, it's not bad by any means, just not what I expected I guess.
