Ralph Lauren Safari is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1990, created by Dominique Ropion. Safari opens with Hyacinth, Marigold, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. It lasts about 6 to 10 hours on skin, fills a room and is best in spring and autumn. Ralph Lauren's Safari carries an Acquired 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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Opens with a sharp, almost biting green fanfare of galbanum and marigold, quickly joined by the bright, almost honeyed warmth of narcissus and orange. As it settles, a complex harmony of powdery orris, elegant rose, and aromatic rosemary emerges, evoking a sense of dry, sun-drenched landscapes. The base anchors this adventurous journey with grounding vetiver, creamy sandalwood, and earthy patchouli, leaving a lasting impression of sophisticated wilderness.
