What does Safari smell like?

Ylang-ylang and jasmine set a floral base, while pineapple adds a fruity sweetness. Vanilla brings out the creamy, gourmand side, and cedar and oud give it a spicy, woody, oriental depth. A powdery softness runs through it.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and night out lead the occasions. It reads as neither clearly masculine nor feminine, sitting somewhere in between. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Ylang & Vanille and Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
