The Samsara perfume water from Guerlain is the wisdom and beauty of the East, encapsulated in a fragrant liquid. In Indian philosophy, the word samsara (translated from Sanskrit as "transition, cycle of rebirths") is one of the key concepts and signifies the cycle of birth and death.
The top notes of the pyramid consist of quite fresh scents of bergamot, lemon, and green notes, adorned with exotic ylang-ylang and peach. The heart of the fragrance is imbued with rich floral aromas of violet, iris, jasmine, rose, and narcissus, which intertwine into a unified whole and captivate with their polyphonic, yet harmonious sound. The intense floral fragrance is replaced by the base notes of sandalwood.Of vanilla, amber, musk, and tonka beans, which with their woody resonance form a luxurious, enchanting trail.
The perfume has a fairly concentrated, rich fragrance, intended more for use on special occasions rather than for daily application. In terms of seasons, the fragrance is preferable to use in winter or late autumn.

Those who don't understand the beauty of this perfume, please don't write nasty things. Everyone has different tastes, and the weather and mood can vary. I was flying on a plane and a pleasant scent was coming from my scarf. Then I remembered what I had sprayed on it at the airport store.
Thank you for the fast delivery. Regarding the scent: ylang-ylang, powder, and sandalwood. I mainly smell ylang-ylang, it is very prominent. The longevity is about 3 hours for it to be noticeable. On my skin, it lasts for 6 hours before the last notes fade away.
Horrible!!! Where are the narcissus?! Where is the cinnamon? Absolutely terrible!!!! It smells like a lice treatment, Lavinal, there's cloves and something else. Bought it without testing. Do not recommend. You won't like it.
I have been familiar with Samsara for a long time, it is a beautiful legendary fragrance. This time I bought a 50ml bottle at a very good price of 941 UAH and I am very grateful to the store for the great discounts.
Very beautiful fragrance! Oriental, but not heavy. Not old-fashioned at all. Sandalwood, powder, and incense. Perfect for winter and autumn.
Gorgeous scent.
Long-lasting fragrance! I bought it for my collection and immediately applied it in the cold weather without waiting for it to settle. The room was filled with the scent of yellow flowers, "nagotki," which often grow in meadows. The floral notes smoothly transition to a chocolatey scent. The fragrance is intense, a small spritz is more than enough. It is quite wearable. I realized that I have come across this fragrance multiple times on familiar ladies. It is more suited for evenings, special occasions, and fresh windy weather.
The scent is extraordinary, in the spirit of the old school, I do not recommend buying without testing it. I knew it before, so I am very satisfied with the purchase.
Rich, powdery, very long-lasting, incredible fragrance with a hint of sweetness. It seems like the smell of a priestess of an ancient mystical cult. Incredibly feminine, seductive, sensual. A magnificent creation of a perfume genius!
The store's service, as always, is excellent.
Today I received it, I wanted to let it sit for a while, but accidentally sprayed it with the cap. Then I decided to try it immediately and immediately smelled narcissus, which lasted for the next few hours (I don't usually like the smell of narcissus, but here I want to constantly smell it). Maybe it will develop further somehow. But for now, I don't regret it, I bought it blindly based on reviews.
I do not recommend buying this fragrance if you plan on using it as your everyday scent and have high expectations for it. The fragrance is magical but has its own character. I bought it in February, sprayed it a couple of times, and put it away in a drawer for two weeks. After that time, I started to get acquainted with and wear the fragrance. During winter and spring, it didn't appeal to me at all. It smelled like my grandma and a nauseating cinnamon from a bakery. I wasn't surprised by this because I knew that the fragrance required the right approach and time. At the beginning of summer, I gave it another try and applied it in the evening after a shower. Again, it had this strange chemical smell. BUT!!! After an hour, a miracle happened, all of that grandma's stench disappeared and a delicate, musky scent appeared. It smelled like white flowers and ripe apricot kernels. Thank God I finally sensed it, I had been waiting for it for so long.
For myself, I noted that during winter, Samsara is a cheap grandma's water. In summer, it's a "scent of sex," as my husband put it. It is an incredibly delicate fragrance that is long-lasting and has a trail. It should never be sprayed on clothes, as it smells unbearably of cinnamon. Only apply it on clean skin.
The fragrance pleasantly surprised me. Sandalwood is noticeable, but it is presented in a finely balanced bouquet of components, turning it into a fairy castle in the clouds. Many people talk about the creaminess in the scent, and yes, there is something like that, like cream from the milk of celestial cows))) And this is from just the freshly opened bottle! (The cologne smelled for exactly a minute, the alcohol quickly evaporated, and the composition itself revealed itself).
Another acquaintance with the masterpiece of the House of Guerlain. And once again, I am in complete delight! I won't even be surprised by the negative reviews. Everyone has their own taste. On the first day, it was a beautiful bitterness of fresh green grass. On the second day, I caught the character of a masculine cologne. And today, without dissecting it into molecules, I will say - it is the scent of expensive powder. And that's it! I love it! Thanks to the store for the lightning-fast delivery and discount, for my birthday.
I really love Guerlain perfumes - I have several different ones, but I don't have SAMARA, I've wanted it for a long time and took a risk, I got a sample, and it was worth it. I received my order, it lasted as it should, but unfortunately, it was a disappointment. I didn't like it at all, the main thing is that it is not long-lasting and doesn't have a trail, the scent itself is mediocre and unimpressive, it smells strongly for about 15-20 minutes and that's it. In short, I didn't like it. Not my thing.
I recently purchased this perfume in a atomizer. My first impression was just shock: it felt like cologne on my wrist. I was disappointed. But later, the scent became more delicate, although it still remained bitter. I will try, as recommended, to come back to it in late autumn - winter. If I don't like it, I will have to give it away...
Now about the perfume. I liked it. Unfortunately, I don't know how to analyze the notes, but it is definitely beautiful. Warm. Tangy, sweetish, not suitable for hot weather, it will suffocate. But in cooler weather, it is very beautiful, intense (a couple of sprays), long-lasting. I bought it based on reviews and I didn't make a mistake. The scent is luxurious! Very much so!
Good day, MAKEUP. I would like to express my gratitude to your team! You worked quickly and efficiently! It just so happened that I received a bottle with a factory defect... You listened, brought in the necessary specialist, and quickly resolved the issue in my favor! Thank you very much! It's a pleasure to do business with you! I will happily continue making purchases from you!
The bottle has changed, but the content is still the same as before!
Very satisfied with the quality of the perfume and the store's service! Everything is great! The fragrance is authentic! I always try new ones, but this one is my favorite since childhood! Even if it has changed slightly, I still adore it!
Not everyone will wear Samsara. Either hatred or strong love. One of my favorites. Need to test.
Makeup, thank you very much! We bought the perfume for my grandmother, she loves this scent and was satisfied!
