Safari Type — Perfume Formula
A dry, sunlit woods accord — lavender and bergamot over sandalwood, oakmoss and a soft amber trail. The blueprint of the classic masculine fougère.
Few masculine references are studied as often as the woody-aromatic Safari signature — that confident, weather-worn blend of fresh herbs, powdery florals and a heavy sandalwood-musk base. This is the full type formula behind it: every raw material, the accord skeleton, and — once unlocked — the exact proportions that hold the drydown together for hours.
Accord skeleton
A heavy woody + musk base (~58%) carries the trail; a fresh-aromatic top gives the opening. Classic fresh-fougère balance.
