Reformulation Insanity!

A word of advice to all of the fragrance houses of the world, "IFRA has ZERO authority"!!! They can only >recommend< that you not use Oakmoss and other ingredients in your fragrances, they have ZERO power or authority to make you stop using certain ingredients!!! Don't allow the wanna-be dictators at IFRA to ruin your fragrances, your reputations and your business! Once-great works of art are now an absolute disgrace due to reformulations. Reformulations that never had to happen to begin with! ( IFRA has NO AUTHORITY! )
STOP THE INSANITY! Stop bending over backwards to please IFRA and start making amazing fragrances once again to please the CONSUMERS! You now have millions of disappointed and disgusted consumers who have had it up to here with being ripped off with the endless cheap and chemical reformulation disasters! We are so sick and tired of it!!! Start using the old ingredients again and tell IFRA to FV(K OFF!

Not quite as expected.. :/

TLDR Statement: A fragrance where very few will find a true olfactory revelation today. And those who do, will almost certainly do it only from 30/35+.

_____________

After discovering this bottle, it was clear that I somehow and sometime have to test this fragrance. Simply one of the best-looking there is so, I think.

Finally, I could then also come to a small vintage miniature to be able to test him times.
But... unfortunately, came very quickly the disappointment. The fragrance is not on the same level as the bottle. Rather even floors lower.

The fragrance is overall citrus-green to classify. He lets remind of a fresh, yet warm savannah wind with a pinch of hot sand.

However, this wind is also not a strong gust, rather a light wind.
So the scent is far from very noticeable, the projection low. Durability is also a maximum of 4-5 hours really actively perceptible.

Overall, a great pity:/ Would have been extremely pleased to be able to include the fragrance in the full bottle in my collection.

As already described above, is the fragrance overall already very pleasant, but you really hardly get around it, also bring a certain personal age to be able to represent the fragrance. Otherwise, he will probably just be too unsuitable for younger men.

It was worth a try...

Heia Altherren-Safari in the hairdressing salon

Actually, what I have chosen as a headline would be enough. The haircutting notice says it all.

But let's do it a little differently here:
Where does one the classic safari take place? Somewhere in Africa, with the Landy through steppes, deserts and savannahs. Nice weather, right? Yes, but damn hot! And if you could hold your feet in a water hole to cool down, it's either teeming with crocodiles or billions of mosquitoes.

Let's summarize: it's damn hot, you sweat like a pig, you stink like one, and the vermin eat you up too. But there's a cure for that: Safari for men. You don't have to enrich the air in the changing room with excessive use of spray cans to a breathtaking and explosive mixture like the youth after school sports. From Ralph's good work, two presses of the spray head three times are enough to achieve a similarly slapping effect - without the risk of explosion. Yes, that's what you need on a sudorific safari - the sheer overdose of citrus, greenery and, to make it less boring, a big bouquet of flowers. Anything even remotely reminiscent of body odour has to go - and it will undoubtedly do so. Nah, the prelude is really borderline and was already in '92 no longer considered contemporary.
Thank goodness the boy becomes a little more suitable for everyday use towards the base, and changes to a strikingly classic men's fragrance, specialising in scissors, knives and leather. And isn't it said that cedar oil should keep away mosquitoes? Then it would be the perfect wonder weapon in the African outback. But I remember tests where cedar oil was tested as unsuitable against mosquitoes. Well then, maybe it will protect you from game in case you forgot your hunting rifle in the plane.
After all: the caraway seeds are missing! With caraway seeds, the old men in their Landy would not be able to stop in time in front of the shop window of Alfred's hairdresser's shop.

Yes, I admit it, I used it a few times as a youth sin after its appearance, when the grandpas of today were still the old geezers of (over)tomorrow. Ok, sometimes you wanted to appear a bit more mature and older and what the girls did with make-up, the boys liked to do with distinctive scents. But I had already noticed two or three years before that there were scents that not only made you look more mature but also brought compliments. It could also be a compliment if she said to you, "Hey, my daddy likes to use that, too" and there was an honest smile on her face, something familiar.
You see, there are always different views and approaches and points of view and it would certainly be boring if this were not the case.

Anyone else love this stuff??

I have the fondest memories of this fragrance. Something about it takes me back and I think of wanting to be grown before my time. It is still a beautiful scent to me. The leather undertones and the aldehydes are a great combo in this. The new formulation is definitely different, but it’s still close enough for me to love it. I think it works anytime other than the heat of summer. The leather and wood notes ground it for the cool weather and the citruses and florals are bright enough for spring. All in all I still love it. Not sure how much of that is nostalgia and how much is actually the fragrance. Please reply if you love this fragrance or also have fond memories of this one. I’m a newbie here but look forward to being a part of the community!!

Cream is the word

"Cream is the word, is the word that you heard.
It's got groove, it's got meaning.
Cream is the time, is the place, is the motion.
Cream is the way we are feeling."

On first spray I immediately get a lovely concoction of creamy spice, creamy lavender, and creamy sandalwood. Then oakmoss and very smooth leather reveal themselves slowly. I consider it a creamier version of YSL Jazz, which preceded it by 4 years. As creamy an affair as this is, it never verges on unisex like, say, YSL La Nuit de L'Homme does. Safari leans more towards gentlemanly, rather than manly. It could easily be used as an office scent, but it can also be rocked on more formal occasions.

The current formulation of Safari lasts 3 hours tops on my skin, while this Cosmair era bottle easily lasts twice as long - still not the beast mode that vintage snobs will tell you about, but it'll do just fine.

Masculinity Level: Faceman from A-Team always retaining a certain level of elegance, no matter the situation.
