All I have to say is that this is my worst blind buy ever… waste of money
byriy08 – :
You will love it if you are into florals. Can be worn in summer. Beuatiful scent both this and sagari extreme but if you are looking for more of a masculine scent then try out khashab al oud by the same house.great gift for male or female. Packaging box and bottle 10/10 – scent 8.7 for me. Could be a 9 if you love florals.

The opening is too feminine.
The dry down is not interesting, not for me.

This perfume oil is a true beauty and totally unisex in my opinion. As a lady, I love to apply this to my body after bathing. It is so sensual, so soft and so seductive. It enhances my mood and makes me feel great. I smell the vanilla and the florals. Very discreet and hits the spot. Thankyou ASAQ..one of your finest in my humble opinion!
جميل جدا! أنا أحبها كثيرا

Well guys. After having spent enough time with this scent I can say from the presenatiom to the blend….everything is simply Majestic. It is a royal nectar blended so very well. The beautiful white florals….a tad bit of suede…..white musk…the ultra refined ylang tea leaf combo…slight touch of spiciness and the heavenly woods. Not at all soapy or oily. Very calming and beautiful scent. Has superb longevity and projection if applied on skin and fabric properly. Purely unisex. But I enjoy the safari dna as a male. The safari extreme edp takes this on the muscle side. I cannot rate this out of 10. This is an experience which comes with subsequesnt usage. Wear it straight out of shower with a light deo.

There is another side to beauty uncovered by Abdul Samad Al Qurashi through the Safari Blend: it’s arrangement of agarwood spices and wild flowers, lifted by the dry wild nectars of tea leaves and Musk towards the white wood, adding enlightenment and refinement.

I received this as a free sample with an order from The World of Scents, and I have enjoyed it very much. A rich, spicy amber with beautiful floral notes (ylang-ylang) and a nicely restrained gourmand sweetness. Extremely long lasting.

A distinguished, oriental oil-blend–for Oud and caramel lovers. Refined and beautiful. It’s not too woody, and that’s what makes it very friendly-smelling to me.
мандаринчик – :
Jasmine, vanilla, musk, stone fruit, milk chocolate, oud. This is a very sophisticated floral vanilla blend that almost veers into too sweet territory but it’s well anchored by the complex woody core. The tea, pine, seaweed, and oud are all seamlessly blended together, it is very difficult to distinguish any of these individual notes, yet the perfume keeps changing. Sometimes Safari gives the effect of a breeze in a hot savannah in the early evening, the wood and leaves fragrant in the warm jasmine vanilla air, sometimes its a floral chocolatey wood, other times it smells like an extremely expensive and luxurious department store perfume, mostly because no matter what that dark core is doing the jasmine vanilla is billowing about, blurring its edges and making its presence known like a lady in a couture gown. The white musk is a supporting player, it’s not obnoxious but if you are sensitive to it you will notice it. That said, ASAQ white musk is very well blended and one of their signatures.
This could easily be worn by a man as well, as the wood element is so well done that it makes this perfume completely unisex.
In terms of the opulence and complexity it’s a comparison to TF Black or Velvet Orchid, or the decadent Micallef perfumes though I can’t think of one that is exactly similar maybe Mon Parfum Cristal has the spirit. Safari is a little easier to wear than all of those while retaining the opulence and exceptional performance. Hours later it is still going strong. I think my sample was the reformulation, got it from the very helpful Mark at World In Scents.

Wow, this blend is AMAZING!!
Complex, Creamy,intense,warm…Pure Luxury! Very long Lasting and sillage HUGE!
It’s UNISEX, but for my taste it’s a little bit more on the feminine side (of course this is subjective),but i wear it (i’m a man). I can’t detect any oud, but…you can layer this scent with an oudy scent. I’ve another al qurashi Oil called “fragrant oud”( not listed in fragrantica), i’ve tried to mix safari with this oil … the result is Amazing!
High quality and gorgeous presentation!
Really really nice… Every time i wear it i be complimented.
EDIT: !!!WARNING!!!Addictive scent!!!!
. As i said, i was a little bit worried, i usually don’t wear this kind of floral scents, i like more woody-incense-Aoud-dark scents but with safari…i just can’t resist. oh my god this oil is like a drug…amazing…amazing…amazing…!!!!I

I too bought some samples. I’m finding it hard to work through these. They take some time. I’ve had them for a few weeks now and only got through a few samples. I really love this one. These are quite long long lasting and really different than any other fragrance I’ve ever tried. A few of the other dark OUD Cambodia was just a little too much for me now. I’m not sure they are in my DNA. However, I’ll try one at a time as the new year comes along. I will say of the 10 I sampled, this one was by far my favorite. TWIS provides these and shipped quite quickly too. I was very much impressed with the owner’s attention to detail. Oh another thing is the musk. I told him I don’t like musk, and he said probably because you only smelled synthetic musk. He was right. The sample musk I got smelled so lovely also. I will admit that I do miss the “spray” of a fragrance. I’d say definitely grab a sample or two. Start with Safari.

I agree with Tandem….. sweet, warm luxury indeed.
Well said! 🙂
To my nose, this is gorgeously blended woody, green, balsamic, and vanilla notes. No description will be quite adequate, however.
Is it worth the price tag? This would depend on whether you are in the habit of purchasing niche or not. If the answer is no, then save your money and buy something with a balsamic vanilla / vibe like Ciara or Tabu. There is nothing shoddy about either of these drugstore classics. In fact, they are among my richest, most revered brews!
If – on the other hand – your answer is YES, then I can definately recommend Safari. You will be amazed at how much value you’ll receive for your money’s worth! Abdul Samad’s massive boxes and heavy duty packaging look like something intended for royalty, not to mention that this is a concentrated oil with no alcohol. For those of you interested, Safari is well worth sampling.
Five Stars

It seems like every time I try a new ASAQ perfume, it becomes my favorite. I bought 15 samples of these from a new reseller in the US (theworldinscents.com, no rel’ship) that a friend turned me onto. I will write more reviews on these after I am finished my sampling. It’s taking me some time to go through these tho cuz each one is really different. Im smelling things that I haven’t experienced before. Been wanting to try ASQ, but has been impossible to get samples and products in US.
Safari is a big fragrance that has been getting compliments at work. Not a real Saudi style oud fragrance, cuz I really cant smell oud at all vs the other samples I’m trying. If there is oud in this, it is a wearable westerny one, with tea (?), fruit and much sweeter than the ouds in my other samples.
The small sample I bought has lasted me 4 applications and counting. Now my significant other has taken an interest in this, and we have been fighting over the remaining drop, so we decided to invest in a FB.

A somewhat Westernized attar due it’s inclusion of white Oud vs aged dark, and of some fruitiness/sweetness and tea notes, as well. Very high sillage and longevity, and consistently garners compliments everywhere, incl work, social events, nights out. Bottle came with a mini-me keychain lookalike (to the large bottle) that holds about 1 ml, just in case you are in danger of running out. Awesome.
olga222 – :
i see that people likes it and i think i know why…
it is very light and not offensive comparing to other heavy/oudy blends by ASAQ.
friendly for western noses.
Oud is hardly noticeable here, this blend rather has a desert, minimalistic character =) i prefer something with a bit more of oud =)
