Safari (for women)
Designer: Ralph Lauren Olfactive Group: Floral Green
!The scent of Safari, just like many other Ralph Lauren fragrances is inspired with American life style. Safari symbolizes another American myth, the call of the wild planes, the spirit of freedom and adventure, the joy of discovery. For all that Safari has enjoyed a great success in the States, just like the Polo and the game of Polo as those are topics that are dear. Safari for women is a floral aroma with light breeze scented by grasses, freedom and romance of open vast space. The top notes are galbanum, mandarin and hyacinth. Aldehydes cheer up the composition. The heart brings a gorgeous bouquet of rose, lily of the valley, narcissus and iris. The base is composed of vetiver, moss, Tonka bean and styrax. Safari was created in 1990 by Dominique Ropion.

strange and suspicious at the beginning, but very addictive afterwards! A+!

I'm wearing it today after years of disregarding it. I met Safari many years ago for the first time on a man and I found it gorgeous. Then I tried it on myself and liked it but it was not so gorgeous. It's a very strange perfume, both green and floral but extremely rich and strong. i don't know what it has to do with a safari or even the ad. Maybe there was an intention to create a hot weather sensation and this could be true. Safari actually smells hot weather and like strange plants in the savana burned by the sun. I also smell chocolate in it. It's a nice scent, but for some reason I'm getting nervous at it today. There is something disturbing in it. Anyway it's a scent it is worthing to try.

An absolutely dazzling chypre, both green and floral and one of the best out there. Admittedly this is not a mild scent at first spray and it does not change into one after the top noted fade down. It is a bold brilliant concept with the use of an almost bitter marigold note in the opening (which I love).
As with any chypre, Safari delivers a lot of mossy green, earthy and cool especially whrn blended with vetiver and cedar. Overall a splendid composition by Dominique Ropion an d a favorite warm weather daytime scent for me. It is a womanly classic in a sea of girlish fruity florals!

Good perfume, strong, not for everyday use, for special occasions,It is an evening fragrance. Not for every woman, due the strong smell. I have it, but I hardly use it, cause it's intense, but good though.

Safari is a stronger perfume, it has a definant musk. I really only notice the base notes. Alot of sandalwood, amber and patchouli. It gave me a headache but I thought it smelled very nice.

Didnt work for me .I found the smell staid and boring ,smelt more like a heavly fragranced soap.

I've tried this one and I found it just not right for me. I must admit that the scent is unique and different. Plenty of green and intense notes and for someone who can carry this perfume it can be signature perfume.

I find it very dualistic - almost like two completely different perfumes struggling in the same bottle.
One of them is a soft floral abounding in opulent flowers, and the other one is something dark and heavy, smelling of crushed leaves and soil, presumably vetiver.
It needs some time to get used to it, and even then it lacks harmony on my skin.

Holey Moley! This is a powerhouse floral along the lines of Carolina Herrera by Carolina Herrera. With a (misleading) name like "Safari," I sprayed it on, thinking I'd be transported to Africa and be surrounded by wild elephants and lions. Instead, I ended up in an English castle garden, with loads of flowers dumped in my lap. I wanted to like it, as the bottle was so pretty, but I had to scrub it off within an hour of spraying it. (Very similar to what happened with Midnight Poison and me.)

This was an expensive present from my OH. Unfortunately it gave me a huge headache whenever I wore it, much too strong for me. I really really really tried to like it but couldn't - especially with the headaches. Not my scent.

All the Safari products have beautiful packaging. This is a lovely scent on other people. My mother-in-law smells absolutely divine in Safari and it's her signature scent. I cannot wear green florals very well.If I could Safari would be my first choice. As it is it's not for me.
