Which Should You Buy?
Safari is a bona fide chameleon in a bottle, both a beloved vintage treasure and a divisive green beast. You'll either adore its wild beauty or run for the hills. If you find a vintage bottle, snap it up - the modern stuff just doesn't hit the same.
If you're after a clean, sophisticated, soapy scent that exudes timeless elegance without screaming for attention, Ivoire is an absolute gem. A real love-it-or-hate-it for some; for others, it's a classy office staple that evokes pure comfort. Prepare to search for it, though - this beauty's been cruelly discontinued.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and distinctive green-aromatic character make it a bold choice, perhaps too much for a subdued office setting. However, for formal events or a sophisticated date, its depth and elegance truly shine. It's too complex and strong for sports.
