Ralph Lauren Safari for Men is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1992. Safari for Men opens with Green Notes, Bergamot, Lemon, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Rose, Jasmine, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Cedar. Ralph Lauren's Safari for Men carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Eugenol from Cinnamon
  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

About

Opens with a brisk, aromatic blend of lavender, sharp aldehydes, and green notes, brightened by citrus and a hint of spicy coriander. As it settles, a floral heart of rose, cyclamen, and carnation emerges, warmed by cinnamon. The dry down is a rich, masculine tapestry of rugged leather, earthy patchouli, oakmoss, and creamy sandalwood, softened by amber and musk. A complex, evolving scent journey.
