Safari by Ralph Lauren

I've got half a bottle of the3.4 ou EDP and another stashed. I'm sad this fragrance is discontinued. It's a victim of it's own elegance in an inelegant age.

I often fall for the resinous note of galbanum, which is the note I think other reviewers mention as mysterious and possibly also in VW's Boudoir. It is also in Rochas' Mystere de Rochas, a dry woodsy/violety chypre which has a couple of notes in common with Safari.

Safari seems to have significant rose at her heart. Who couldn't imagine the Baroness von Blixen wearing it? I'd always wished the gracious, beautiful EDP bottle had a cap which could be unscrewed so I could reuse the bottle.

Safari lasts and lasts. It's rich but never vulgar.
