From a review on Basenotes.net
A very vanilla/sweet scent that has seriously stood the test of time. Lynx are renowned for discontinuing their scents if they feel they have run their course, and the fact Africa (Kilo in the USA) is still going strong (since 1995) suggests it's popularity is still as high today as it was in the 90s.
This scent should serve as an example to the company that the demand for the older scents are currently very high, with the fact that Africa is STILL the biggest selling Lynx variant in the UK despite the numerous newer scents released. Newer scents have come and gone and Africa still defies the odds and remains!
Personally, I think some opinions of fragrances are guided by brand names and being "traditional", especially by our friends in the good ol' USA. Our American cousins seem to go with the "if it's old, it's good" premise, which, in my opinion, is often simply not true. Just because it says "Beckham" on it they snort, when they actually should sniff.
