    I love this scent. One of the ones that I'll keep buying. I got 2 "You smell Goods" in one day( That's rare). Now I just want to find the After Shave Balm to add to it.

    A great green, spicy and a bit "colonial" classic leathery fougere, astringent in floral mildness, british style in the starting dry accord of bergamot and lavender, rooty in herbs, patchouli and vetiver, aromatic of thyme, eucalyptus and basil throughout the trip and with a woodsy impenetrable dry down of moss, earth and leather. The role of the aromatic middle  components is notable since the hesperidic beginning (in their accord with lavender) and till the end while the intervention of the spices is central  and focused basically on cinnamon and cloves. The smell starts hesperidic-aromatic and holds on to be angular and airy (further than spicy) because of a long link of bergamot and geranium. The dry down is basically oakmoss and patchouli in my opinion with a certain level of harshness that is carried out more by spices than by vetiver that is indeed a bit oily and green. I appreciate very much this fragrance with all its spicy bitter-mild kind of greenness. I detect a touch of tobacco on the side of spices, greens and patchouli. The dry down morphs finally towards something at once spicy, rooty of patchouli but  surprisingly soft and mossy. This fragrance despite its classic and exotic foundation is versatile and comforting. A pleasure to wear it outdoor in the country or while strolling along the english fields. Projection and lasting power are more than good.

    Still a great smell but the current formulation of safari(on me)has no real lasting power and fades quite quickly this is the only fragrance in my collection that i have had to respritz on the same day of wearing.The version of safari i had in the 1990s was a lot stronger than the current formulation and its sad to say that the current version of safari is a shadow of its former great self.

    For years I smell RL Safari on my brother any time he goes off , for playing saxophone in his jazz band. For the first time I smell it , it really don't take my attention , but a few days ago I gave it a try , and I changed my mind.

    Safari is a sharp leathery green and sophisticated fragrance, I smell the same citrus note of Ungaro III in the background , and the same dark feeling. The same time it is sensual and exotic. Women love it !

    One of the best of all times ! In my opinion =)

    I guess I'm among the minority that doesn't love Safari. The eucalyptus and bergamot opening is potent indeed and carries through to the end, to my nose. Unfortunately I don't much enjoy eucalyptus; here it is medicinal rather than minty. It gets points for being rather unique but it's not one with which I am enthralled.

    great fragrence, i see many people here are saying that it should be used for business and i agree to a point. it's got a bitof... rigidity? i suppose that would lend itself to a busness meeting. also, people are mentioning a more mature age group. this is really my go to scent for school. and i'm 15, a lot of girls really like it and a couple guys have asked me what i'm wearing.. most importantly, i LOVE it. kthe top notes are kind of, odd and maybe kinda cady-ish? but as it dries down it gets buttery, leathery and more spicy. wonderful scent. lasts around 12 hours on me (10's about aveage for me so i guess i'm lucky in that respect.) and this is the fist cologne i've tried that has good sillage on me. i wear this with really any type of clothing, aside from possibly a suit which for me would be closer to gucci by gucci... overall, an excelent fragrence that is well blended and wonder full.
    i get leather woods and florals with a little bit of spice in the middle, but as we hit the base, the spice takes over the florals and becomes a truly classc masculine fragrence.
    in short. it makes me smile :)
