Ralph Lauren Safari: The Fragrance of Freedom and Elegance

Released in 1990, the Ralph Lauren Safari perfume embodies the spirit of adventure and sophistication, becoming an iconic women's fragrance.

This release is part of the Safari collection, reflecting the brand's philosophy—the American dream of an elegant, free, and confident life that Ralph Lauren began creating in 1978.

Reveal and Character of the Fragrance

Safari begins with a vibrant burst of citrus and fruit notes, such as orange and black currant, which quickly intertwine with green accents of galbanum.

As it develops, the heart of the fragrance opens with a rich bouquet of floral and white floral notes, including iris and jasmine, creating a sensual and refined aura.

At the base, woody and ambery chords, such as patchouli and amber, add depth and longevity, making this fragrance multifaceted and memorable.

Positioning and Usage Recommendations

The women's fragrance Safari with a medium trail is perfect for everyday wear, office, or informal meetings, providing confidence without being overly intrusive.

As an eau de parfum, it has good longevity: for optimal effect, apply it by stepping into the cloud of spray on the skin, and on clothing, use 1 to 2 sprays to emphasize its elegant character.

Creators and Influence on the Brand

The creation of Safari was handled by talented perfumers Ben Kotyuk and Dominique Ropion, whose expertise allowed the fusion of the freshness of green notes with the luxury of floral chords.

This fragrance strengthened Ralph Lauren's reputation as a brand that doesn't just create perfumery, but tells stories of style and freedom, remaining relevant for decades.

If you enjoyed Safari, take a look at similar fragrances: Goutal Paris Le Chevrefeuille for fresh floral tones, Avon Little Lace Dress with delicate accents, and Roberto Cavalli Florence Blossom, which also combines fruity and floral motifs.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Ralph Lauren Safari begins with an energetic top accord, where mandarin, orange, black currant, galbanum, tagetes, and narcissus create a refreshing and slightly spicy openness.

At the heart of the composition, delicate and rich notes dominate: iris and jasmine intertwine with narcissus, orange blossom (fleur d'orange), rose, and aromatic rosemary, adding floral depth and warmth.

The fragrance base is built on long-lasting woody and ambery accords: amber, cedar, patchouli, sandalwood, and vetiver provide a lasting and cozy resonance, finishing the composition with an elegant trail.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The scent is truly fresh and beautiful, very captivating. Blackcurrant leaf with a slight bitterness is clearly noticeable. I wear it all year round, it smells great in any weather. In the base, there's a sweetness, sandalwood and patchouli with cedar create a wonderful harmony. In my opinion, it slightly reminds me of Chanel 19, but I still prefer Safari because of its warm note in the base

there's something enchanting about this perfume. it's like a magical potion, created from sun-drenched herbs. the bitterness of galbanum and the sweetness of marigolds with hyacinth in the top notes create an interesting contrast. the floral bouquet, felt not only in the heart but also in the sillage, is simply magnificent. a woody base with light smoky vetiver and resinous patchouli adds depth. longevity is about six hours, and the sillage is truly impressive. this is a fragrance that can be worn by both men and women. it's like a personality leaving a mysterious trail

Safari, of course, sounds good, but only in its perfume version, because it's tricky. The smell of steppe grasses and freedom, but all on some cloying honey base. If you decide to use it, be careful, apply just a tiny bit, like you're smearing it. When it's dry outside, it unfolds beautifully, but as soon as the air gets a little humid, it starts to turn bitter and becomes unbearable. But at +25 and in a dry climate - yes, then it's really good 😒

It's not often that a fragrance captivates me like this, but Safari is exactly that case. I fell in love with it from the first sniff! At first, it seems dry and bitter, even a little sharp, with herbal notes. But then real magic happens - it unfolds into an amazing honey base. The honey here isn't sweet, but has a slight bitterness, and some interesting sweetness is added by the herbs! 🌿

CHIC! This fragrance is simply stunning. It combines expensive cigars and quality cognac, while floral notes add an unexpected tartness. Closing my eyes, I see an English study, as if transported to colonial India. True inspiration

This fragrance immediately caught my attention. There's something amazing about it - bitter autumn flowers, buckwheat honey, and warm amber create a rich palette. It feels both complex and familiar, as if transporting you to the autumn of your homeland, where palace parks are drenched in flowers, and yellow and red leaves gently bask in the sun. Somehow, it reminds me of close men: my father, brother, husband. There's something powerful and protective about it. This fragrance seems made for a weekend, for comfort and hospitality. The crystal bottle looks like a decanter with a bitter tincture, once prepared in estates in autumn "for appetite," and then offered to guests with baked apples in honey

This fragrance is simply amazing! It's like a mysterious beast relaxing in the sun, stretching and enjoying the moment 🌞 When it decides to reveal itself, it's a true spectacle! It's like a hunter confidently moving towards its goal. You can feel the warmth and dryness of herbs, as well as dusty earth, which gives a sense of endless expanses and a light breeze 🌾 A real feast for the senses

This chypre is simply magnificent! First, bitter herbs are felt, and then floral notes unfold. The fragrance is very harmonious and dry, leaving a pleasant aftertaste 🌿

Marigolds in their true form! By the school, in the front garden) It reminds me of childhood, of the steppe. Memorable and bright. I haven't decided yet where and how to wear it) The scent evokes fantasies and memories

The fragrance called Safari, in my opinion, is absolutely not for travel. It's more suited for quiet contemplation. It likes warmth, but at around 25 degrees Celsius, it unfolds especially interestingly. In the cold, it seems to hide, even appears to disappear. But as soon as you enter warmth, it reappears. Its longevity is simply excellent — it lasts for ten hours without any problems. I really like this perfume

What the hell, but this scent just didn't work for me on my skin. But, damn, that doesn't mean it's bad. In fact, its beauty is simply stunning. For me, this perfume became a true aromatic therapy. It has a slight bitterness, riotous blooming, and the freshness of mown grass, as if you've just walked through greenery. And there are also honey notes, like wild honey, mixed with damp earth and moss. All of this creates a sunny mood. Overall, it's not just a fragrance, but a real miracle - super cool
5/5

The smell is simply amazing! The flowers are sweet, but not intrusive, not cloying at all, but very harmonious. The fragrance is balanced, it doesn't scream and doesn't try to attract too much attention. It creates a cozy atmosphere, you want to feel it again and again. Chypre and cologne notes play in the background, and then floral sweetness comes to the forefront, even a honey note is felt. Best suited for cold weather - winter or autumn. In summer, only if you really want to and in cool weather 🌸

The fragrance turned out to be a real puzzle for me. I bought it, tempted by the beautiful reviews and the gorgeous vintage-style bottle. On my skin, it unfolds with bitter herbs and wildflowers, something like chamomile. Very tart and natural. But, honestly, it's more suitable for experienced women who possess both mystery and a desire for freedom
