Cutting up rough
It's good that the Gorilla's are raising the issue of sandalwood depletion.
But it would be better if their perfumes were properly finished, and not slapdash or spontaneous - depending on how charitable you want to be.
Smuggler's Soul is about illicit logging, but it contains the endangered Santalum album (no doubt legally harvested) as well as the austrocaledonicum variety (also decimated in its native lands).
The smell is a dry and coarse marigold, with milky-sour woods with a hint of lemongrass: a sort of sandal bath bomb. The idea is there but the rough edges could have been smoothed out a bit.
