What do reviewers say about Smuggler's Soul and No. XII Santalum?
Not a polished fragrance. Not trying to be. Vetiver and lemongrass open rough, then sandalwood takes over and makes it worth the wait. That's the trade, honesty over ease.Smuggler's Soul
Some fragrances ask you to work for them. This one just sits there, certain of itself. Sandalwood Soliflores have a reputation for being too quiet, too soft, too little. No.No. XII Santalum
