Is Safari suitable for everyday wear or should it be saved for special nights?+−
While it has the presence and complexity for a night out, many long-time fans use it as a daily signature scent for business or casual leisure. Its dry, clean character makes it professional enough for the office if applied with restraint.
How does the performance of the current version compare to original bottles?+−
Original iterations are known for a very heavy mossy base and extreme longevity. The current version remains a strong performer compared to modern releases, though the mossy elements are slightly more transparent than they were in the 1980s and 90s.
Is this considered a very sweet fragrance?+−
Not at all. Safari is defined by its green, woody, and spicy accords. While it contains orange and blackcurrant, they provide a tart freshness rather than a sugary sweetness.
Who is the typical wearer of this fragrance?+−
It is generally perceived as a mature, sophisticated fragrance. It appeals to those who enjoy classic perfumery, "old money" aesthetics, and scents that lean toward earthy and aromatic rather than fruity or gourmand.
