Ralph Lauren Safari Cologne: The Total Utilitarian Cologne For Men

How does a pour homme fragrance mimic the true essence of masculinity?

Wood chypre types are generally the utilitarian scents. It’s versatile – you can wear it on business meetings or special dates. It is also soapy, thus creating an air of freshly-showered scent. If you want to project a no-nonsense man attitude, you cannot go wrong with wood chypres because there’s no hint of femininity in the notes. It is not meant to be a unisex fragrance either. Just manly virility inside out.

Safari Cologne embodies the true character of a man scent – assiduous, self-confident and pleasant. This woody aromatic cologne combines aldehydes, artemisia, coriander, neroli, lemon and bergamot at the opening notes. The middle notes marries floral notes and spice: cyclamen, carnation, cinnamon, tarragon, jasmine and rose. The base is the highlight of the overall fragrance: leather, sandalwood, amber, patchouli, musk, oakmoss and cedar.

Safari complements the sweltering heat of summer. There’s a good balance of masculinity and clean freshness that don’t overwhelm. You can say that it’s a safe choice for an all-time masculine fragrance. The comforting aroma it conveys is also a classic elegance, a characteristic that is so Ralph Lauren.

Comparing Safari to the Polo Sport series, one perfume reviewer from basenotes.com thinks that this cologne is by far, the cream of the crop, “With a lot of the Polo/RL signature elements, this is the best of the bunch, and a rich, smooth, “grown up” Polo fragrance. Nice in its way, in fact, Safari is a weigh station on the way to something more mature and more personal to the wearer. But for what it is, a very pleasant weigh station, it is a fine thing.”

In this age of gourmand, ozonic and citrus notes, Safari represents what a true sophisticated gentleman should be. It is one scent you ought not to miss. It is the classic.
