Ralph Lauren 1990 EDP
Safari
Ralph Lauren Safari is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1990, created by Dominique Ropion. Safari opens with Hyacinth, Blackcurrant Leaf, Marigold, and Orange, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Ralph Lauren's Safari carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.
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.What our verdicts mean →

Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
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.
Declarable allergens
We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
