Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Safari Eau de Parfum

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.

Our Verdict - Private Collection Eau de Parfum

A legendary green floral from the 70s, Private Collection is a divisive scent: you'll either love its crisp, retro elegance and confident swagger, or find it a bit too sharp and 'vintage'. It’s an acquired taste for some, but a timeless masterpiece for others.

Safari Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

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.

Seasons

Spring Summer Autumn

Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Formal

Often described as 'professional' and lending 'confidence', its bold green floral character makes it highly suited for office and formal wear. Whilst some find it suitable for summer, its strong sillage and complex profile make it less ideal for casual outings or intimate dates where a subtler scent is often preferred.
