To clarify, we do not make shaving soaps. We do, however, license some of our fragrances to a company, Declaration Grooming, that does make shaving soaps.

You're welcome. There are quite a few factors at play here. First of all, the over-harvesting of sandalwood has put the market for naturals at quite the disadvantage. I use a sustainable grown and harvested natural oil, so I am trying to help with the problem here, but in reality the rush to meet demand means that natural oils are not as well developed as they were back in their heyday. This makes a supplemental accord often necessary.
Additionally, there are many, many different sandalwood materials out there, all with their own unique characteristics. To imply that all sandalwood accords with a mix of natural and synthetic materials to be the same does quite the disservice with the expansive palette that perfumers have at their disposal.
Either way, the accord is more than just sandalwood, along with a Cambodian oud (as you are likely aware, there are many, many different natural oud options out there, each with their unique characteristics) along with styrax, opoponax, castoreum and dark aged patchouli, so beyond the sandalwood accord, the overal composistion is designed to go beyond a simple sandalwood accord into a more diverse experience.
