It is a unisex fragrance that suits well in the fall and winter seasons, and the scent seems to linger for a long time.
ConsThe downside is that the woody note may be divisive, the price is high, and the perfume is heavy, making it difficult to carry around. Additionally, the spray power seems to be weak.

They said it would only be available for about 3 months, so I decided to try it out as a fragrance beginner. 1. Lingering Scent In my case, the lingering scent is what I love the most! The initial scent is very woody, and while I usually like Lush products, this one didn't quite capture my affection at first. However, the lingering scent is subtly floral and enchanting ◡̈ ♥ If you smell the lingering scent rather than just the initial woody note, I think you'll find it much more appealing. It also gives me a bit of a winter vibe? I feel like it pairs really well with a coat, so I think I'll get a lot of use out of it this winter!
ConsThe initial scent is quite woody (really earthy) so you might need to spray it and let it settle a bit before going out. Other than that, there's nothing bad about it!

The blend of rosewood, sandalwood, and vetiver makes me feel so calm and relaxed whenever I smell it! It's often marketed as a men's fragrance, but the sweet lingering note and slightly heavier presence of cedarwood don't make it overly masculine, so it works well as a unisex scent. I was curious about the ingredients, so I looked it up on Hwahae Trial Reviewer, and the formula is quite decent compared to other perfumes.
ConsThe sillage isn't as strong as I expected. Even after spraying it several times, the scent only seems to linger on my own body and doesn't project far. However, the people around me can still detect it, so it's just average in that regard. The price is also a bit disappointing, and the fact that the Korean Lush is an import from Japan raises concerns about radiation.
TipI'd recommend directly ordering from the UK or Australia instead. Even with the added shipping cost, it's still cheaper than the Korean Lush.

It's one of Lush's signature fragrances that seems to suit anyone who wears it. If a passerby caught a whiff of this, they'd likely turn their head. Even the next day, the lingering fragrance had a different but equally delightful scent. I fell for it all over again in the dry down.
ConsThe price is definitely the downside of Lush. It's a love-hate relationship with Lush.
TipI like to use this fragrance together with Dirty - it makes the scent more layered and absolutely divine. I've also received a lot of great feedback on this combination.

Lush has many fragrances with a woody initial note, and I bought this one because I wanted a soft, lingering scent. Smuggler's Soul seems to be a fragrance that you get hooked on because of the dry down, rather than the top note. The top note is fresh and woody, and it becomes more powdery as it dries down. So I felt this was a perfect winter scent. It's marketed as unisex, but has a more feminine feel. The initial woody note is citrusy, and it becomes more powdery as it develops! I really liked the woody yet powdery scent, as it was a new experience for me. And compared to other fragrances, All Good Things also transitions from a woody note to a sweet dry down, and Smuggler's Soul has a similar reversal appeal. But the lingering dry down is less sweet and more soft.
ConsWhenever I write a review for a Lush perfume, I end up complaining about the poor packaging... And this one is on the pricier side among the White Label range. I often buy Lush perfumes on a whim because they're affordable, but the price doesn't seem that great considering the volume.
TipDon't decide based on the first impression when you test it! This perfume gets better over time!
