A wine tasting?

Or am I swirling my cologne in a snifter?

I have no idea what I'm looking at. Bill, that seems as possible as anything.

I did a web search for "a nose of sandalwood." I found:

* a nose massager (!) made of sandalwood
* sandalwood essential oils
* sandalwood air fresheners
* sandalwood vinyl stair trim with a square "nose"
* and a person on Reddit wondering if their nose cannot detect sandalwood.

This wooden, tiger-shaped nose massager is kind of amazing:

I have never heard of nose massagers before and am baffled. Maybe they are for massaging something else and the word "nose" is more polite?

Anyway, I like that they seem to have worked the famous covfefe typo into the brand name of the nose massager in the Walmart link.

The thing is, this puzzle doesn't look like any of those things.

Hmmm... TIL sandalwood is an aromatic wood. Perhaps this is a glass teapot filled about a third of the way with an aromatic sandalwood tea? I can almost make out the handle (albeit a small one for just one finger to pass through) and thumb lever for the lid above it. The black edge/shadow simply provides contrast for seeing the teapot in the white space.

I predict that in the year 2032 someone will look back on this discussion and explain exactly what the picture really is.
