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.
A budget take on the classic Givenchy III, 3 French Avenue rebuilds the sharp green-aldehydic opening, a delicate floral bouquet and a deep mossy chypre base. It captures the elegant vintage character closely, though the layered florals and moss read a touch simpler than the storied original.
