We know it won’t be a light scent; the name Dominique Ropion says it all. Safari has power, it’s intriguing and mysterious, with an 80s DNA: voluptuous, intense, scandalous yet with its own brilliance. There’s nothing like it; it’s exotic. It smells of jungle, wood, and earth under the sun. Over time, the vetiver, sandalwood, and galbanum fade to let the florals take the lead (highlighting the heliotrope, narcissus, hyacinth, rose, and jasmine with amber accents). Very particular, worth experiencing in all its phases.
I bought this icon to complete the Safari duo. It’s no wonder there are few comments; the market prefers the new, but Safari is the image of a confident, cultured woman, beautiful simply by existing, with formidable pride. Whenever I’ve worn it, I’ve felt respect and admiration for women as a whole. It’s an aromatic icon representing a woman with dignity and beauty.
It was my favourite until they discontinued it. It’s not easy for me to choose something without allergies, but this fitted me perfectly. Délicieuse.
Safari was so unique that I haven’t met anything like it since. Strong, feminine but with iron will, it commanded and tattooed itself onto memory. Citrus and florals, featuring narcissus and hyacinth, with herbal notes that later turned ambered with sandalwood and cedar. Once settled, a herbal patchouli with juniper and roses. It was the perfume of an adventurous woman, of intense emotions and nature. The trail and projection on my skin were heavy. How special, what a pity I can’t enjoy it more.
Safari was a world apart; I haven’t encountered anything even close to it since. Strong and feminine, yet without that fragile softness: it had character, commanded attention, and etched itself into memory. Citrus and florals, with narcissus and hyacinth in full force, later turning ambered with sandalwood and cedar. Once settled, it revealed a herbal patchouli with juniper and roses. It was the scent of an adventurous woman, of intense emotions and nature. The projection on my skin was heavy. How original, what a pity it is no longer available.
I understand it’s discontinued, however in some places in the US it’s still available. It’s the best perfume I’ve ever tried; no fragrance has ever matched it. I imagine a gala dinner, like charity events, where men wear suits, sit at round tables, and women put on their most beautiful dresses and fill themselves with precious jewels. It’s elegance, sophistication. It’s a perfume that for me should be called ‘royalty’ or something similar. But its name also does it great honour: it’s wild, for wild women within an elegant body visible to all. Excellent. Not every nose tolerates it.
Indeed, it’s still available in the US, but reformulated. It no longer has those exquisite, sophisticated top notes. Nevertheless, it retains its style, though I feel it’s more synthetic, with a very marked geranium note not listed in the pyramid. Still, it’s wonderful to have it; the trail is fantastic and maintains that unique, untamed spirit.
Indeed it’s still available in the US… However, it’s evident that it has been reformulated. It no longer has those exquisite and sophisticated top notes that made it indefinably so. Nevertheless, it retains its style, albeit in a version I feel is more synthetic, with a very pronounced geranium note not seen in the olfactory pyramid shown here. Still, it’s wonderful to get hold of; its sillage is fantastic and it retains that unique and untamed spirit.
Undoubtedly, it’s a fragrance with character and personality; it’s still available in Chile. I recognise it’s very special, but it’s not for me. The galbanum note makes it too bitter for my taste. Although I don’t like sweet perfumes, this is too bitter and strong. It’s not my style.

A very wearable green. Classic 80s memories but in herbal, which in my view is more bearable.
Class and elegance beautifully packaged in a bottle that looks like cut crystal with a Victorian touch. An aroma with noble sensuality and total olfactive absolutism, character, strength, a soft yet potent sillage, radioactive and expansive, lasting hours with a powdery and woody-spicy dry-down. I have three bottles and I treat them as if they were niche. What a beautiful perfume!
If asked to think of a classic, modern and feminine women’s perfume, but not trendy, and neither Italian nor French, I’d surely say Safari by Ralph Lauren. The vintage version is overwhelming, especially compared to current trends. It’s quite close to 80s perfumes: resinous, intensely floral, mossy and dark at first. The sensation that permeates you is incredible; it makes you imagine having moss all around your feet while huge trees and flowers grow and you can barely stretch your neck to see the sky. The result is a fantastically solid aroma, perhaps too much for today’s standards, but worth having in the wardrobe. It has wonderfully arranged traditional aldehydes that form its elegant nature, interwoven with fruity notes leading to a floral heart accord of rose, carnation and jasmine, with a slightly sweet woody base at the end. It takes elegant classic lines, with a well-executed middle phase that attracts and speaks to me of a woman who is completely free physically and morally. It’s not for everyone, but if it makes chemistry with your skin, you’ll discover a complex, comforting, warm, flattering perfume, primarily feminine… and an expression of that inner voice that always awakens you, inspires you to discover new things, to dare, to get involved in life with an attitude where the word fear does not exist.
Safari… for me it’s ‘off the scale’. I must confess it’s not easy; it has everything that current perfumes lack. That’s why I don’t recommend buying it blind or using it if you’re a teenager; I was one when I fell in love with the advertising in a department store in 1992, in that ‘belle époque’ of glamour, luxury and intoxicating scents in the perfume aisles. It was another world; as a teenager you could use true bombs and haute parfumerie creations that no longer exist. Walking down an aisle in the 90s, I came across a spectacular photo of Ralph Lauren: the beautiful cut crystal bottle, silver cap, coffee colour and amber liquid, with the RL initials in manuscript. Wow! In the background, perfect models, men and women like kings or princes with retinue, shielding the sun with rattan umbrellas surrounded by wild life in the jungle, all dressed in top 90s fashion: military greens, raw tones, light coffee and browns, with spectacular jewellery. That image was tattooed on me. A year ago, seeing that bottle advertised again on a platform, I relived how when I first saw it I couldn’t afford it as a teenager, but then my imagination soared and I wanted to take a leap, be part of that photo, know what that amber liquid would smell like and discover the enigma. All that remained in my childhood dream and dissipated over the years. But seeing it advertised recently, I decided and bought it. I have no regrets, although I emphasise it’s not easy, not for anyone, not blind, and least of all for today’s teenagers. Its notes captivate; I’m not one for greens or herbals, but here I feel those notes with great quality that make me tolerate and enjoy them. In the top notes I sense galbanum, narcissus, hyacinth and cassis; they blow my mind! I don’t enjoy the opening; it’s invasive and penetrating, a jewel of another time. But the heart and dry-down notes are from another universe: they literally pierce the nose. As they dissipate, they blend with lesser intensity with rosemary and lily root, giving way to vetiver and a beautiful amber that I enjoy more from the heart to the end. The most beautiful thing about Safari is when it reaches its dry-down: it becomes talcum-like, elegant and exquisite. I applaud its projection and sillage, a marvel; the longevity is infinite, lasting all day on my skin. After this sermon, I conclude that I finally lived a teenage dream by having it, and I’ve learned to just want it and not understand it, haha. If I recommend it as a vintage jewel for collectors like me, yes, but don’t buy it blind. Only if you have a dream and nostalgia like mine.
Safari is an ‘out of this league’ fragrance. It’s not easy; it has qualities modern perfumes lack. I don’t recommend buying blindly or wearing it if you’re a teenager (I was one when I fell for the advertising in the 90s, an era of glamour and intoxicating scents). I stumbled upon the cut-glass bottle, silver cap, amber liquid, and RL initials, with models as kings in the jungle. That image was tattooed onto me. A year ago, seeing it advertised brought back that childhood dream, and I decided to buy it. I don’t regret it, though I emphasise it’s not easy; it’s invasive at first. The top notes (galbanum, narcissus, hyacinth, cassis) are from another universe; I’m not a fan of greens and it took me time to accept them, but the heart and base are magical. The dry-down is talc-like, elegant, and exquisite. I applaud the projection and infinite longevity. It’s a vintage jewel for collectors, not for blind buys.
Unique, wonderful and spectacular. I think that sums up everything about this perfume.
Thank you for reminding me of that era! You describe the advertising and fashion so well; you transported me back to those days. It happened to me too: I remembered the ads but couldn’t afford it. Two years ago, I found it in an online store, and although I’d never smelled it, I had to try it blindly. Upon spraying, how strong the opening was! I can’t imagine the look on my face. I identified the scent with a body cream called Hinds (the rose); it’s identical! Since then, I’ve tried to get used to it. It arrived in cold weather and I didn’t like it, until summer came with rainy days and it was perfect. It’s too herbal, like falling into a field of tall green grass on a sunny day. It’s unconventional, but that makes it interesting for those seeking different aromas or reminiscing about the past.
Thank you for reminding me of that era! You recounted and recalled the advertising and fashion back then so vividly that narrating that visit to the department store made me swear I was transported back to those bygone years tucked away in some drawer. It happened to me too: I remember the advertising for this perfume captivated me immensely, but being young, I couldn’t afford it. Two years ago I stumbled upon it in an online shop; I couldn’t believe it: I thought I really had to have it now, even if blind. And like with you, upon spraying it, the opening is brutal! I can’t imagine the look on my face when it reached my nose, but I couldn’t help identifying it: it smells identical to a pink Hinds body cream. Since then, I’ve tried to assimilate its scent. It arrived in cold weather and I didn’t like it, until summer came with rainy days; oh surprise! The perfect days for this wonderful fragrance arrived. In short, it’s too herbal; I feel as if I’d fallen into a vast field of green and yellow grass, waist-high, lying there on a sunny day with a gentle breeze carrying the aroma of the countryside. It’s unconventional for today, but that makes it interesting when you seek aromas different from the crowd or want to reminisce about your past with fragrances that bring beautiful memories.
A few months ago, I bought a box of miniatures from the 80s and 90s houses, and among them was this perfume I’d never heard of. I left it for last, and upon smelling it, I couldn’t believe I didn’t know it before. It’s beautiful, green, and mossy; you can sense galbanum, hyacinth, and other florals, with a hint of moss even though it’s not an ingredient. The bottle is exquisite, with a Victorian touch. As soon as I can, I’ll buy the full bottle. I pray it’s not discontinued or reformulated.
Just bought a box of 80s and 90s miniatures a while ago, and this perfume was among them; I’d never heard of it, so I saved it for last. Upon smelling it, I can’t believe I didn’t know it before. It’s exquisite, green and mossy; you can detect galbanum, hyacinth and other florals, with a touch of moss even if it’s not an ingredient. The bottle is gorgeous, very Victorian style. As soon as I can, I’ll get the full size. Hopefully it hasn’t been discontinued or reformulated.
