Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Masculin EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Safari for Men EDT
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

Masculin

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

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.

Safari for Men

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

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.
