Safari | Ralph Lauren

Safari was Ralph Lauren's 1990 answer to the idea of fragrance as escape — built by perfumer Dominique Ropion around the same sense of open-space freedom that runs through the rest of the Safari line. It opens sharp and green with galbanum and orange, cut with black currant, before moving into a dense floral heart of jasmine, rose, and lily of the valley. The base settles into sandalwood and amber, warm enough to ground all that green brightness up top. It's a distinctly '90s composition — complex, a little assertive, built for someone who wants a fragrance with real presence rather than something that fades into the background.

Condition: New in box, factory sealed, never opened.

In Cleo's words: "It's such an exotic, wild fragrance — very green and aromatic. It smells like an exotic, sexy woman who's old money."
