What does Evening Safari Drive smell like?

Sandalwood, cedarwood and cypress form the backbone. Eucalyptus adds a fresh, slightly aquatic coolness, while tonka bean and vanilla soften the edges and leave a sweet, resinous warmth underneath. The green, spicy, earthy and smoky accords keep the woods dry and natural.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays on the skin without filling the room. It is positioned as a men's fragrance. Its profile is close to Hiram Green Arbolé and Chanel Sycomore (2016).
