Safari for Men

Safari for Men, released by Ralph Lauren in 1992, is a classic aromatic scent with a floral heart and a leathery, mossy base. Flowers lead, woods are strong, about half of people notice spice, leather and citrus, and a minority mention herbs.

The opening is crisp and bright: lavender, bergamot and lemon give clean citrus-herbal freshness, artemisia and green notes a bitter green edge, and aldehydes a soapy sparkle. The heart combines rose, carnation and jasmine with tarragon and cinnamon, a warm, gently spicy floral bouquet. The base is sandalwood, amber, leather, oakmoss and patchouli, a smooth, earthy and leathery finish.

Most wearers report moderate longevity and a moderate trail, sometimes close to the skin. It is voted for autumn and spring and worn by day slightly more than at night. That suits office days and smart-casual occasions, for men who appreciate a refined, traditional scent with an early 1990s character.
