Safari Perfume - Ralph Lauren Fragrances For Women

Safari Perfume for Women is one dazzling chypre fragrance from the perfume house of Ralph Lauren. The floral notes smoothly blends with the green accords bringing out an air of lavish bouquet sitting on a bed of parched grass. Such contrast creates a dualistic harmony on the overall appeal of the perfume. It’s unlike the banalities of the sweet fragrances of the contemporary perfumes being marketed during the 90s and beyond.

This floral powerhouse is a versatile fragrance. The heavy florals at the beginning of the notes may be a tad too overwhelming but there’s more to expect after the opening notes subsides. The beauty of Safari perfume lies on how the vetiver, moss, styrax and Tonka rise to the occasion and assume a well-blended piece of floral masterpiece. Lush, feminine and devoid of the homogeneity of its peers.

The top notes are composed of galbanum, mandarin, hyacinth and aldehydes. The middle notes bring out an overture of flowers featuring rose, lily of the valley, narcissus and iris. The base caps it off with vetiver, moss, Tonka bean and styrax.

According to a review from one fan from fragrantica.com, “Admittedly this is not a mild scent at first spray and it does not change into one after the top noted fade down. It is a bold brilliant concept with the use of an almost bitter marigold note in the opening. As with any chypre, Safari delivers a lot of mossy green, earthy and cool especially when blended with vetiver and cedar. Overall a splendid composition by Dominique Ropion and a favorite warm weather daytime scent for me. It is a classic feminine scent in a sea of fruity florals!”

Safari is associated with summer and the spirit of freedom for the adventure-seeking individual. While it doesn’t hide the fact that it may come off as stronger than your regular perfume stash, it’s one of those not-your-typical-floral-fragrances type because it can charm its way by projecting sensuality despite its casualness. It’s a class of its own.
