Which Should You Buy?
A lost treasure from the past, Bourjois Masculin is sorely missed by those who remember its sophisticated, classic aroma. It's often compared to some of the greats, so if you ever find a bottle, snap it up.
Safari is a true throwback, a classic 90s fougere that manages to feel both dated and timeless. If you loved it then, and can hunt down a vintage bottle, you'll love it now. Modern formulations are a shadow of their former self, so sniff before you splurge.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Its rich, classic chypre structure and leathery-musky base make it too substantial for athletic wear but perfect for formal and evening events. The aromatic and floral elements allow for a moderate presence in office or casual settings.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Safari's classic, sophisticated profile lends itself well to formal and date settings, conveying a mature confidence. While versatile for casual wear, its bold nature in original formulations makes it less ideal for office wear; modern, weaker batches might scrape by.
