Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Safari EDP
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Trek For Women EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Safari - a floral fragrance led by Lily Of The Valley, Moss, Green notes, with woody depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

Safari

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.

Trek For Women

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The floral character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its floral, woody signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
