Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Jazz EDT

This is a seriously divisive one. Some hail Jazz as an undisputed masterpiece, a timeless classic that screams mature masculinity. Others, however, find it dated, bordering on unpleasant, with reformulations hitting particularly hard. You'll either love its aggressive opening and smooth drydown, or you'll find it an overwhelming blast from the past.

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.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Jazz's strong, classic profile and considerable projection make it suitable for formal events and dates where you want to make an impression. It's a bit much for casual wear, and while some wear it to the office, its bold presence might be distracting. It is definitely not a sport fragrance.

Safari's classic, sophisticated profile lends itself well to formal and date settings, conveying a mature confidence. While versatile for casual wear, its bold nature in original formulations makes it less ideal for office wear; modern, weaker batches might scrape by.
