I love the Mysore type SW's, LP. I didn't go into detail about it b/c the chart was really just for me to keep track of things (and not to re-order by mistake!), I posted it here b/c I like FO reviews and figured these, although not v. descriptive, were better than nothing.
For me, Mysore type SW's are the ones that remind me of visits to southern India (Mysore is a city in S. India) in my childhood. It is the classic sweet, rich, creamy, earthy SW that is unaffordable and highly protected now b/c of deforestation in those areas. Sandalwoods from other places - now usually Australia and Africa - I think, just lack the deepness and richness of that one. Ironically, for me, the FOs that resemble the EO's from those places - for me they have sharper, more clearly defined woodsy notes - tend to stick better in CP. So although I like scent of the Mysore ones better, I often prefer using the others (Gemlite and Sweetcakes stand out here) in CP. Or a blend of both.
