Safari, released by Ralph Lauren in 1990 and composed by Dominique Ropion, is a floral fragrance with a strong woody side and lighter citrus, sweet, green and aromatic touches. It is a bold, green floral chypre of its era.
It opens with galbanum, sharp and intensely green, alongside narcissus, hyacinth and marigold, which give a green, slightly earthy floral tone, brightened by orange, mandarin orange and black currant. The heart is a lush bouquet of rose, Italian jasmine and orange blossom, with orris root adding a powdery coolness and rosemary a herbal edge. The base is woody and warm, with patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood, cedar and amber.
Many wearers find it long lasting, others moderate, and the trail is moderate to strong. It is voted for autumn and summer, more for day than night, so it suits work and smart daytime occasions, for someone who likes confident, green, classic florals.
