Gorilla

Cross River Gorilla

Woody Green

Paying homage to the verdant environment the Cross River gorilla calls home, the scent channels a plush, overgrown forest through green notes of cardamom, brushed sage, and green apple. Violet leaves mingle with cypress and elemi, creating a fresh, grassy heart, while vetiver, red sandalwood, and smoked leather add depth and round out the composition.

MEET THE
CROSS RIVER GORILLA

Inspired by Nature,
Designed to Nurture

A peaceful animal that travels in family groups, the Cross River gorilla is typically found in the forests of the Cameroon Highlands, which spans the borders of Nigeria and Cameroon. These herbivores are the most threatened subspecies of the African apes, with roughly 200 to 300 estimated to be living in the wild due to factors like hunting, loss of genetic diversity, and habitat loss.

"Due to the present conflict and instability in South West Cameroon - one of the few areas where the gorilla is found - protection of this iconic animal which can be seen to represent the whole threatened West African rain forest, has become hugely important. Your support would help us save the critically endangered Cross River Gorilla, latest estimate only around 300 left, helping preserve its habitat, help local rangers and their families engaged in the gorilla’s protection."

- John Daniels, Chairman of the Cross River Gorilla Project

Smell description—hot man

This is exactly what I’d think if I smelled this in a crowded room. Very manly and musky. As always, I love sanctuary and will continue to buy perfumes from here!

We're so glad to hear that you find it to have a hot and manly scent. We appreciate your continued support of our sanctuary and hope you continue to enjoy our perfumes. Thank you for choosing us!😍

It smells awesome!

Amazing woody smell

Was a little thrown off at first bc the original spritz smelled exactly like plywood but as it dried down and settled into my skin the true beauty of this fragrance really showed face. I love how the majority of sanctuary fragrances are unisex!! I'm girl who loves scent notes in fragrance that are more associated with Cologne. I will say this particular fragrance leans more masculine than in between so this might not be the one for most women.
