Good morning

 

Safari is my 2nd favorite scent in my entire near-100 bottle fragrance wardrobe. The sandalwood, leather and eucalyptus along with the carefully applied floral touches make this one of the best scents in my opinion. It's got a clean yet rugged character. I wish I discovered it a long time ago as this would've been a great signature scent in my 30's. It's definitely a scent for a man, not for a clubbing college kid.

Creed - Spice & Wood - is my #1 fave. Starts out with a high frequency, almost piercing citrus-fresh apple note and this classy smelling back round. The scent changes to a more muted apple, very classy spicy and woody mid. The final dry down hours later becomes an almost campfire+baked apple effect but the strength isn't heavy, rather it's like you're smelling it from a distance 'on the air'. The way this scent transitions so radically and with how great each phase is makes this a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. I managed to obtain scent oil that matches the 'mid' (somewhat) for my shaving soap and aftershave, but the actual super-expensive Creed bottle is the only way you're going to experience the real transitions that were engineered into this. It's worth the money, but if you're considering buying it you should always buy a sample first. Only your own personal opinion matters.
