Love it. Smells like I am wearing the original Burberry while sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun. Lots of floral garden...very happy.

Man- that's what this scent it. Man. If you want to smell like a sophisticated gentleman, ride the bus, ride your bike, drive your car over to the mall and at least try this scent.

My father in law stayed with us for a vacation last year and wore this after shave and it was strong enough that I could smell it from another room. My house smelled like a sophisticated barber shop for gentlemen. After that, I decided that I would own it.

In an age of citrus and candy and water, Safari represents a nice change for me. If you agree that manly scents need to make a comeback, you owe it to yourself to try this scent. It is, imho, a classic.

I do like it but I'm thrown off a little bit.

At first, it reminds me of Jovan Ginseng NRG which for me, is not a good thing. I notice it every time I put it on and that's unfortunate.

But with the drydown it settles down to smell a bit more green and yes, 'creamy.' Unfortunately, the scent is so subtle that my lasting impression is always Jovan Ginseng NRG, even after the drydown. If you like Jovan Ginseng, I think you would like this.

This scent will get me through spring and summer, but I don't know that I'll buy it again. I was searching for a fresh-cut grass scent and I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

I love this scent! When I was a kid, I used to go to a resort in San Diego called Vacation Village (now called Paradise Point) with my family. It was right on the bay and the thing I remember most vividly about the place was grass and lawn bowling and swimming pools everywhere.

This scent reminds me of that place. I suppose I smell a little grassy scent in there but I won't say that it smells like my front yard after I cut it. It smells like casual class and I love it.

It is a grown up scent, so if you are into cheap body sprays and/or girly-boy 'they all smell the same for the past 10 years scents,' you might not like this one. But if you enjoy sophistication without coming off as presumptuous or pompous, then you might enjoy Bowling Green.

By the way, this scent is an 80s scent. Two sprays are enough so remember that when applying!

Well, I don't want to give this scent a thumbs down because I don't find it to be bad, but for me, I found it to be a waste of resources; and I really, really wanted to like this scent.

It's hard for me to differentiate what I'm smelling, but I mostly smell pepper initially, which is strange because pepper isn't even listed as note! I can't smell any notes that interested me in this scent (lemon, juniper, carnation, leather) which makes me a very sad boy. I do believe I smell a little bit of pine and patchouli but that's it.

As strong as this scent comes out of the bottle, it absolutely does not last. My family and I went out to dinner the other night and sitting right next to me, my wife could not smell it. She did smell it when I had her smell the back of my neck, but I couldn't ask her to spend the rest of the evening with her face draped across my neck. Or could I? On a positive note, she did say that it smelled good.

So that's it. This cologne works the opposite of how scents are supposed to work: people draped all over you to trying to smell what on earth you spent your hard earned money on rather than people draped all over you because they like what they smell. Honest to goodness I sprayed some on my arm 45 minutes ago and I can't barely smell it anymore. And I have a kickin' sense of smell. So sad.
