The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016, Treasures of Safari Oud by Ralph Lauren is an Oriental Woody fragrance crafted by perfumer Carlos Benaïm. This composition opens with the rich and smoky notes of oud, followed by a warm balsamic heart that adds depth and complexity. The base layers of amber and woody accords create a grounding warmth, making this scent both luxurious and intimate.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow the rich base notes to develop fully. The smoky top notes fade quickly, but the woody and balsamic heart will linger throughout the day.
