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.
Derby is a complex beast, with significant batch variations causing a love-it-or-hate-it divide among users. When it hits right, it's a unique, classy green dream. When it misses, it's a frustratingly faint echo of its potential. Try before you buy, if you can.
