  Floral and woody, absolutely delicious. I’ll be buying it again once I’ve finished the bottle. It’s elegant, relaxing, pleasant, and puts you in a good mood. A beautiful creation by Guerlain’s master, a cult classic.

  I remember the first time I owned it, a feeling of positive energy, almost at the end of the millennium. Nobody warned us that the sugar kings and air fresheners were coming. Samsara before the reformulation was still Samsara, but afterwards, with the drama over the ingredients, it became a crazy water. Today, only a faint spirit of that sandalwood and jasmine duo remains, the first time a genius like JPGUERLAIN created something like this. What a tragedy to stop using something unique because houses insist on destroying great works. All tied to that madness of making all the bottles look the same. Before, we bought extracts in crystal temples and wonderful boxes, a pleasure for the soul. Today, originality is found in candies, coconut, or pistachio, smelling like salad. Soon they’ll create the scent of ridicule taken to the extreme and feel they’re in paradise. That’s what they call modernity. Class is born, not made or bought, just as it was with these jewels.

  Life has those crazy twists to gift you what you search for most: in my back room of the 90s, I was already collecting vintage but couldn’t buy anything. Until I met a woman, and upon entering her home, I saw she had perfumes from her deceased sister. She showed me the collection, and seeing my face of astonishment, she told me to take them. I insisted, but it was genuine, so she gave me nine bottles, including the Guerlain Samsara EDP. I opened it, and although I have fifty perfumes, this is the king, exquisite. I’m a man, but sometimes I put it on my wrists to smell it while sleeping, ufff. Thanks to Amarilisbelladonna for this heartfelt review of this Guerlain Samsara EDP.

  I haven’t tried it in person, but from what I’ve read, it seems interesting.

  Guerlain Samsara, wow! It’s my favourite perfume, always and forever… the only one that leaves me breathless and speechless. The first version was narcotic, sublime, and special, evocative of leaving a mark and memories, pure magic. I’ve been a collector since I was a child; it all started at ten with my first bottles. My first love was Coco Chanel and still is, but I admit that although Samsara was my second love, over time it became number one, and no other has matched it. For me, it’s an elixir that intoxicates me from the moment I smell it, an unforgettable jewel and hard to compare. I’m talking about the first version: a spicy oil scent with fine essences. At eleven, my olfactory ability perceived ingredients that evoked an Aladdin’s castle, flying carpets, and Arab princesses. I remember the vanilla-scented sandalwood, but with so many nuances it was impossible to define everything; now I recall that ylang-ylang, iris, tonka bean, and amber were very present. Anyway, a sensual and hypnotic perfume from which you don’t want to tear yourself away and keep smelling for hours. I always have that memory of a Christmas visiting a friend’s house: I love that time and its decorations. Suddenly, an exquisite aroma arrived that I had never felt before; my friend’s mum used it, and although it was in her room far from the living room, the fragrance invaded the whole environment. An unforgettable perfume. Today, I treasure two miniatures kept like gold coins in a box, because the current reformulation has erased that beautiful and unique first version from the face of the earth. A perfume out of this world that set a very high standard, as none has removed it from my throne. I don’t understand why perfume houses ruin them with reformulations; if they were successes and jewels, they shouldn’t disappear 🙁

  Samsara has been and will always be my beloved perfume. The love of my life in the world of fragrances. A lightning bolt and a shared lifetime. I started using it when I was very young, and we grew up together; it accompanied me for many years… until the reformulation arrived and turned it into a shadow of what it once was. Its scent was pure magic, a dry-down from another planet, the best sandalwood I have ever heard and smelled, with the most incredible and creamy vanilla and tonka bean notes, all combined in a masterful blend created by the great Guerlain for his wife. A perfume born of true love, a sensory journey for the soul. It had extraterrestrial longevity and trail. You could wash your clothes and still smell it hanging in the wardrobe. I lost count of how many times people asked me what I was wearing. I keep a bottle of the current Samsara, which I am unable to use, because I feel it is a soulless clone of the original, and every time I have tried to wear it, it has been a heartbreak. It breaks my heart. It is no longer Samsara; it is something else. It smells very good, of course, and retains something of the original DNA, so from time to time I smell it and its notes bring back memories of my soul’s Samsara. Thank you, Jean-Paul Guerlain, for this jewel.

  What can I say about Samsara? It was my perfume when I was very young; I had many bottles and I loved it madly, and people loved it on my skin. It was powerful yet delicious, with sandalwood as the protagonist, sweet but different, nothing gourmand. I imagine that the vanilla, peach, and sandalwood together create that marvel that is Samsara… I love it and I believe I will always love it. Now I have a small bottle of the old version that I do not intend to use because the reformulated version is not the same as my beloved original.

  This was my signature fragrance for my twenties. It was beautiful, lasted all day for over 20 hours, and on clothes it was eternal. I remember my little sister broke a bottle (I nearly committed homicide 🤭), and the room smelled of Samsara for months; this perfume was truly a tattoo. I bought it again a couple of months ago, and although it retains the DNA, it is not even a shadow of what it used to be. It smells good, yes, but the longevity is a joke, lasting less than seven hours. Why reformulate perfumes!!! It is sacrilege.

  Samsara… I used it over twenty years ago and have not bought or smelled it since, but I remember its aroma vividly and would recognise it among a thousand. A beautiful perfume with a powerful trail and great longevity. Sumptuous and elegant, to ensure you do not go unnoticed.

  Ayy Samsara… I searched for it after reading a review, clearly out of my era as I was not born when it was created, but I was lucky to find a vintage version. What a curse!!!! What a beautiful perfume, please. It is so wonderful, so unique. Those additives are magnificent. It is my favourite fragrance in my entire collection. I use it drop by drop, although luckily I have a backup, but I cannot imagine it running out. It is a perfume that makes me feel secure, sheltered, and loved. How can one renounce that? I even wore it on my wedding day to remember it forever 💕. It is truly creamy. It smells like my grandmother and my mother mixed together to go to church. I put it on and feel accompanied. I have never perceived a similar scent. I have, had, and inherited many perfumes, but none resemble it. I still do not know if meeting you was a blessing or a curse, Samsara. It is like first love; you know it will end, but you cannot stop loving it. Everything is beautiful. Its bottle, its box, and its contents. It is a perfume not for everyone. I have not tried the reformulated version, but I will have to when my vintage bottles run out… I use perfumes according to my mood, so I could not assign it to a specific season or occasion. I wear it whenever I need to indulge myself and feel loved by myself. It makes me feel unique and that there will never be anyone like me. And I do not know if it is unconscious, but the happiness and peace I transmit when I wear it is one of the reasons I receive the most compliments. I use it at home and to go out. It is my Cozy perfume… I love you, vintage Samsara. Originality 10/10 Versatility: depends on your personality Trail 10/10 Longevity 10/10 Presentation 10/10

  Could such a perfume have been born today? Hardly, for beyond the talent of the masters of old, the entire framework was missing, a different way of living; today things have changed, the sources of inspiration, and above all, people, their way of dressing and behaving. One must experience certain things to transform them into a perfume, and then realise it could be the perfect companion for someone who, upon spraying it on their skin, achieves a magical alchemy. Having the opportunity to try creations of this calibre in their vintage versions (thanks to the beloved and departed Rebecavpf) is like having a ticket to the University of Perfumery. This is a soft, sensual oriental. This is exactly how those women smell for whom elegance, seduction and glamour are not just words. It envelops you like an exotic touch of a warm breeze. It is soft, intoxicating and a delicious blend of creamy, muted spices. It has an aged feel, like a lost magical potion that suddenly appears in your hands. You do not just use this; you gradually discover what a perfume of such calibre can do; it is one of those fragrances with a distinctive character that creates a very special aura around the wearer, with that powdery sweetness that is an immediate invitation to closeness. A perfume that is like the magic of a first encounter, where everything is possible but nothing is promised. In the dry down, the peach note is truly beautiful and manages to reappear time and again, coexisting with bergamot and lemon. Shortly after comes a magnificent bouquet of flowers, exuberant in a noble glass vase. But the most beautiful aspect of this blend for me is, without doubt, the iris, which gradually asserts itself, stands out more and more and shows no lack of confidence. Initially it seems somewhat cold, visibly breaking down into its powdery components, becoming warm, soft and sensual, and seeming to absorb the other floral notes in its powdery embrace. It still carries its fraction of flowers and dust, but the greed for more does not stop, and together arrive a wealth of vanilla, amber, tonka bean and a sandalwood as only Guerlain knew how to make. At this point, it transforms into an explosion of pure scent, infinitely sensual and frivolous, lascivious and demanding, almost like a woman full of eroticism stepping out of a bottle, so to speak. Yet never cheap; the lady knows where she comes from. She is bold, free and confident in taking what she wants, but she does so with a unique style and personality. Samsara is a perfume from another time that turns out to be fabulous for a romantic evening or simply when you want to feel loved.

  A real gem from the perfumery: sweet and powdery, resting on an ambered sandalwood base… It’s a scent to enjoy at any time; personally, I love wearing it straight after a shower, before bed, and on my clothes.

  I own three bottles of this gem; I love it, it is fabulous for me. A sweet, powdery, very elegant and personal scent. The sandalwood, vanilla, tonka bean, and incense are very prominent; it is simply delicious… I am completely smitten.

  Fortunately, I still have the original red bottle, which features a very elegant design. The scent is a tender amber over top-quality sandalwood; I absolutely adore it on women over 45. It’s not that it doesn’t suit other ages, but rather that it conveys a certain maturity.

  This review is for the small red bottle in the photo. The opening transports me back several years, possessing that vintage air I was hoping for. The first note I detect is peach. Then comes the best part: a floral bouquet with a wonderful ylang-ylang, nothing banana-like or beachy (ideal for temperate or cold climates), with hints of jasmine, narcissus, and iris. As it settles, the powdery accord becomes more noticeable. It definitely has that Guerlain accord. Projection is moderate and longevity is very good. The dry down is a tender, feminine powdery ylang with vanilla, noticeable from the second hour onwards.

  I adore Samsara and will never forget how I met it, because it came with a beautiful friendship story. One night with a group of girlfriends at a nightclub, suddenly I was hit by bursts of a sublime fragrance; I fell in love at once, my heart raced, I needed it, I wanted to smell like that, and look at me, I was already wearing a heavy perfume, Fendi by Fendi, almost nothing! A dreamy chypre. The place was Spot in Miami Beach, not a huge venue but it was packed to the rafters; the night smelled of tobacco, sweat and that intoxicating perfume, I wouldn’t stop until I found it, I needed to know what it was because it had become a total obsession, flowers and more flowers, vanilla and sandalwood, it was the most beautiful and sensual thing I had ever smelled. I followed its trail until I found it; a woman was wearing it, an impressive mulatto with infinite legs, stiletto heels and platforms, glowing brown skin glistening with sweat, a tiny sheer chiffon dress covering a sculpted body with a wasp waist; as her only adornments a tight necklace from those sold by indigenous Americans in the Everglades, made of shells and beads and feather earrings; hair pulled back, spectacular yellow eyes and a lovely, sincere smile. I was breathless, I didn’t dare speak to such a stunning beauty, but her scent had me absolutely captivated and there I was, stunned and watching her, we started dancing, a crowd of guys formed around us, we started laughing in a gesture of complicity and in the end I dared to ask her, I confess the last vodka helped quite a bit. Samsara was her perfume and like me, she was also a lover and collector of perfumes, I already had four or five unconditional favourites at the time. We started talking and spent the night dancing and laughing; a bunch of young, beautiful, carefree girls alone, you can imagine or you already know. It was getting light and we all went to the beach to watch the sunrise and then for Cuban coffee, the good kind, a shot, strong and dark and a huge sandwich of bread with lechón in a Cuban café on Collins Avenue where all Miami went to replenish with delicious sandwiches and typical dishes after burning energy dancing all night. We spent hours laughing, stealing each other’s words and telling our sorrows and joys, until sleep overtook us. The next day we went together to buy a bottle of Samsara, I believe it was at Saks, in Surfside. Since then Samsara became my signature scent and Evelyn one of my best friends, with whom I shared besides perfume adventures, a few harmless pranks, we laughed and cried on each other’s shoulder and danced many other nights in dark trendy clubs, smelling of sweat, cigarettes and Samsara. Later due to life circumstances we lost track of each other but I will never forget the beautiful friendship we had and the time shared. Sometimes I think of Evelyn and imagine her as a mature woman with serene beauty living on the beach of some exotic country and I ask among other things what perfume she will use now? and I know with certainty that she will ask the same. For now I have stockpiles of Samsara and more perfumes than I can use, but I am already searching for a new perfume that makes me vibrate, that raises the hairs on my arms, that never tires me and that I can use without fear of it running out.

  Samsara has died definitively and forever, first the clear bottle, then the red one and now the bee one, which is worth noting is like a cologne water but better than nothing, luckily I saw it coming and had time to buy a few red bottles and now I have bought a few of the bee ones, but sooner or later they will run out. The new Samsara has only seven notes and the square 75ml format like the Mitsuko one. A historical myth of international perfumery has died, I cry its loss with impotence and frustration. I cannot understand why, it has its fixed clientele, it gains customers continuously, it sells like hot cakes why? I do not understand the big companies, but there is something clear to me, they do not move a piece if they do not make money.

  I bought it for the vote to be unisex. And yes, but not so much. It starts with a delicious fruity opening that you wish would last longer. Then it explodes into a floral bomb; my nose detects a rose with a ball deodorant smell, perhaps due to the iris. In this middle stage I do not like it at all. But when you hold on, the true personality arrives: a beautiful sandalwood with vanilla and talc. This final phase lasts an eternity. Getting through those flowers that do not help much… I do not know if it was worth it. Update: yes, it was worth it.

  Samsara was my signature between 2006 and 2015; in reality I copied it from a colleague who sprayed it even on the ironing water and brought the scent of the 1001 nights. When my semi-vintage bottles ran out (it was 2005-2009), I got several vintage ones from the 90s, both EDP and EDT; all were past except one. Warning to sailors: if you miss it, let it die in peace as I did, what they sell today is a genuine atrocity.

  The original bottle is a work of art in itself. It has been my perfume for more than 30 years, since its launch in 1989, and it brings me many memories, especially that of my second wedding, as it was the fragrance I chose for that special day. In my opinion one must get used to it; the first time it may seem a bit intrusive, but after testing it on skin several times you fall in love little by little. At first it is citrusy, then the floral aroma arrives with a talc touch that makes you feel elegant, and to seal it, a spectacular vanilla that makes you vibrate. The skin time is spectacular, more than 12 hours, and on clothes let’s not say, it stays impregnated for days; several garments I have since then carry that characteristic aroma. It is for grand occasions and formal events, a scent that gives you bearing and elegance. I have not yet tried the new version, but from reviews I know it is not the same, that now it is less potent. I hope it keeps its characteristic smell, otherwise it would be a pity and a great loss in perfumery.

  First, thanks to my anonymous friend for this special vintage bottle. Samsara is the great reference for sandalwood in perfumery, especially feminine. Before Jean-Paul Guerlain, there was no perfume with so much sandalwood for women. The bottle is gorgeous. Upon application, I first thought of another fruity and green ylang-ylang perfume; I liked it but didn’t fall in love until the sweet, buttery and powdery florals arrived. A wonder that captivated me. After half an hour, it becomes something impressive. It’s super elegant, feminine, ideal for dressing up a little or wearing on the inner arm with good music and a coffee. It lasts a long time on skin (let’s not talk about clothes), becoming noticeable hours later, so be careful with the amount. I use three sprays and have more than enough. It’s not light or summery; I see it as ideal for cold weather and night due to that sensual aura.

  That sandalwood blended with ylang-ylang, iris, vanilla, amber, and sometimes rose and jasmine, transports me straight to Dharamsala: a room with candles, incense and precious oils, waiting for a bed with red linens after a spiced dinner, in the midst of a seduction where Samsara is key alongside Nirvana. It also takes me back centuries, to dances of golden odalisques emitting this fusion of elements that created the scent of Samsara in the harems. A beautiful gift from Guerlain.

  It has become one of my favourites. Basically, it’s a game of jasmine, rose, sandalwood and vanilla. The vanilla stands out as it dries down, very natural without that pasty touch found in other fragrances. If you love jasmines, this is a great option, although here the jasmine becomes warm, slightly powdery and sweet.

• Edu Lezana

  Guerlain didn’t fall behind with the 80s trend of complex oriental fragrances by creating Samsara. It’s very feminine, a powdery oriental where a sharp sandalwood with ylang-ylang stands out, giving it body and an adult touch. Today it’s a mature and rigid fragrance, not for any occasion, but for formal events, work or galas. It has class, never seemed young and doesn’t want to be. It’s for elegant women with strong personalities, charisma and perfect as a personal signature. Note, it’s not all-terrain; it feels out of place in young and casual styles. Better not to buy blindly.

  Years ago I approached a perfumerie and tried Samsara. At that time Guerlain was unknown and great feminine fragrances were unexplored except those I was lucky enough to find. I liked it and took a long time to find a red vintage bottle from 2000 and then one from 1996 of the first presentation. I slowly entered its universe so as never to abandon it. Starting powerful, quickly the floral and iris notes give way to ylang-ylang which blends with jasmine. Vanilla and sandalwood close a long-lasting dry down. The trail depends on the sprays. I find it rounded, a floral interpretation with a soft oriental vocation. It has great quality in its composition. Few differences between the 1996 and 2000 versions; the older one has a more rounded sandalwood. I haven’t known the current one.

  I love this perfume that has accompanied me for 30 years. I must have it, it’s my personal identification. Everyone knows who I am by my Samsara. What I did notice in the last two years is that it no longer has the same concentration of aromas as before. I got used to it but it’s a sin. I would love to have the bottles from 10 years ago again, more concentrated. Unfortunately it doesn’t enter Argentina, so I bring it on trips. I thought the pressure of the plane modified the consistency, but it’s not like that. It seems several of us experience the same thing. A pity, but I remain faithful to it.

  I bought the current eau de parfum version in the bee bottle and I haven’t liked it at all. I remembered another scent. Now its longevity and trail are negligible. I stick with Shalimar.

  What a disappointment. I don’t understand what they’ve done in the reformulation. A faint powdery violet scent close to the skin that barely lasts half an hour. The vanilla of old has disappeared. It’s not worth the price at all. The sandalwood is almost imperceptible. A pity of an investment. Never again.

  A lamentable loss… Although it is currently sold in the new formats of the house, the current Samsara is 60% of what the edt was, but here it is marketed as edp. This jewel was a reference of orientals and curiously had its enemy at home, Shalimar. Two timeless masterpieces. Pity that both have been diluted. I’m not saying the current formula is bad, but insufficient compared to its predecessor edp. Here the union of sandalwood, vanilla and ylang-ylang was sublime and now it’s a water at 60% of the edt concentration. Lamentable. Very lamentable. Its trail is moderate for the first hour and drops to the skin afterwards (no more than 8 hours).

  When I was young I used it with singular joy and felt very sensual and sophisticated with its extravagant aroma. Years ago I bought it again and I can no longer tolerate so much musk… I put it away in my collection.

• Miky

  July 27, 2019

  

  First off, it’s no longer in that format; another piece of rubbish from Guerlain… the reformulation is an absolute idioty. It’s not Samsara anymore; they’re selling it in bottles identical to the Aqua Allegoria line. It smells different from when it was in the Fragantica bottle, but well… if what we want is something similar to the original Samsara, we’ll go to a perfumer and sniff that ridiculous bottle. But if we’re looking to feel what it made us feel… I’m sorry, that’s no longer possible. It doesn’t last as before, it doesn’t smell the same, and the trail isn’t there either. Longevity: 3-4 hours. Sillage: moderate. Bravo… Guerlain.

  What a powerful perfume! And I repeat: powerful beyond measure! So much so that it can be intrusive, but it has deep, complex, mystical, and wonderful personality. It has more than enough attitude. Without a doubt, not every woman should wear it; the strongest and most powerful women I’ve known use it. Very sweet, a rich and strong sweetness, reminding me a bit of peach with chamoy, as if fermented, with a strong, fine, rich, complex, and deep incense. Some don’t like it, but indisputably, not every woman is capable or dignified enough to carry so much aromatic power with poise. It’s a superb perfume that makes everyone else pay homage. It smells mystical, alchemical, magical; if strength had a scent, it would undoubtedly be this. It smells like a sultanate, luxury, perfumed gold, potent essence, for dominating and banishing any entity. It’s a masterpiece, unique. As a child, I must admit it gave me nausea (something natural as my sense of smell was used to smelling fresh air and sweets), but now as an adult I have admiration and respect for it.

  It is heat made into perfume, it is the magic of alchemists, it is the true ambassador of the East. How much must one write before they discontinue it? What can be done to stop them changing their original formula? A formula that made history should remain untouched like any great French work of art.

• KAETHRA

  What hasn’t been said about Samsara that hasn’t been said before? Once a friend frequented temples in Madurai, India, and managed to get both of us an attar of sandalwood, sambac jasmine, and champaka; its scent is celestial and it seems only upon opening the cap does Samsara appear. The perfect name for this fragrance which, in my opinion, is the mother of Alien, both retaining an identical DNA, only that Samsara, the lady fragrance, is a universal and absolute icon of the sacredness in which we wrap our bodies. Samsara demands respect and a place on the market shelves for eternity. Speaking of its spiritual and aromatherapeutic side, it needs to be labelled as a medicinal fragrance for all chakras, from the root to the crown. Without any waste, it manages to seduce without the carnality of other worldly perfumes.

  I haven’t smelled it in a long time and recently decided to remember it. Now it smells different to me, less complex, more linear, and it reminds me of Cartier’s Must… and before it wasn’t like this.

  A beautiful perfume SAMSARA, life, death, and resurrection (Buddhist and Hindu philosophy), the fruit of its creator Jean Paul Guerlain’s love for an English girl, dedicating to her two of his favourite aromas: sandalwood and jasmine. It’s a pity that it has been reformulated and given a horrible new packaging. The original bottle of this perfume is iconic, a tribute to India; the cap represents the eye of Buddha. Robert Granai is the name of the designer of the beautiful bottle for this masterpiece, inspired by exotic Indian beauty, taking its representative red colour. What luck for those who still have this beauty in their vintage version. It brings me so many childhood memories; it was one of my mother’s favourite perfumes in the 80s and she used it very often… I was hypnotised by its scent. Sandalwood is indeed its standout note, but it’s a soft, sweet, and creamy sandalwood, and it plays a very interesting role with the jasmine making a perfect combination. The opening is citrusy but fades in a few minutes to give way to the harmonious floral combination; the sandalwood always remains, leaving its woody and amber final notes as a trail. It’s so rich, worthy to be worn with great firmness; I feel it more oriental-floral than woody, and on my pH it blends so perfectly. Without a doubt, for lovers of good classic aromas with a broad olfactory palate, they will love it. Sillage: 8/10. Longevity: 9/10. Scent: 10/10.

  Let me tell you, I bought it blindfolded solely because of your comments… crossing my fingers that I would like it for the price… and let me tell you, I loved it. It’s described perfectly: it’s elegant, sexy, bold, sensual. I think it has ginger notes or something mysterious I can’t deduce what it is… as a friend said, it smells almost like incense. Elegant, sophisticated. At first I was scared because it’s a bit strong, but like any perfume, it lowers its intensity over the minutes and leaves the heart, and I fell in love again. Extremely different from my normal taste; I’m into citrus perfumes, I was looking for something different that would stick to the temperature approaching in my country, Chile… the autumn-winter. I think it’s perfect. Thanks to all the users… Great Samsara.

  Samsara is not a perfume for everyone; it’s elegant and exquisite. It was my first perfume when I was a teenager, and then they discontinued it and stopped selling the original. Now it has a new presentation, and I just ordered it from a recognised shop. It’s worth every penny.

  Samsara, a perfume that leaves a mark. I’ve only heard it worn by one person (in 1995) and it was a friend’s aunt. When she got into the car, almost everyone in unison said: ‘What a lovely scent!’. ‘It’s Samsara’, she replied. I was a teenager and thought: ‘I hope I don’t forget the name, remember it ends in Sara’. When I got home I recommended the perfume to my mum (without knowing it was from the Guerlain house) and she wasn’t so lost, as my mum has used Shalimar all her life. A difficult scent to describe; for me it’s elegant, sensual, with lots of personality. A true oriental.
