Our Verdict - Boss Elements EDP

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.
