About the Product
Guerlain Samsara perfume first hit the market in 1989. A rich, sensual amber floral fragrance for women with a strong woody undertone of sandalwood, Samsara is an opulent perfume that has excellent longevity and performs well in formal settings.
Fragrance Family:
Amber, woody, floral
Scent Type:
Powdery, warm, sandalwood, iris, lightly spicy, sweet, rich, opulent, dark
Notes:
As Guerlain Samsara perfume unfolds, the first wave of fragrance is bright, bitter, green and slightly spicy, achieved by top notes of bergamot, lemon, peach, green notes and ylang-ylang. Creamy and animalic jasmine shines at the heart of the perfume alongside powdery iris, rose, cool violet and narcissus. In the base, sandalwood is the star, slightly sweet and aromatic. Vanilla, tonka bean, amber and musk wrap around the other scent notes like a warm hug.
Suggested Use
For long-lasting fragrance that you can carry throughout the day and to minimize the need for reapplying, focus on your pulse points behind your ears, at the base of your neck and on your wrists as well as warmer areas of the body, such as behind the knees and inside the elbow. These are the best places to apply your fragrance since the scent intensifies by the warmth of your body.

I have bought this scent again and again
My wife has made Samsara her signature scent for special occasions, meals out, etc. ever since I bought it for her in Paris on a business trip. After perhaps twenty years, she still won't even consider any other scent; when she runs out, my shopping for her next birthday, Christmas, or whatever, is clear and simple! She gets compliments on it EVERY time she wears it, which delights both of us. (I love Samsara too.) I just wish FragranceX carried the perfume, powder, etc. as well as the cologne.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Not original
Not the same Samsara as years ago. They show the red bottle in the advertisement, however, you will receive a bottle that is different and so is the perfume. False advertising. They do not make the Samsara of years back, unfortunately.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

I would buy this perfume again and again I LOVE IT!!!!
I used this years ago as a young mum, my husband travelled and would bring home the duty free perfumes, I was so lucky I was able to try many, in different circumstances I would not have had the Chance. So Samsara has good memories for me. (For me it has a mix of spice and floral aromas, not heavy or sickly and the best bit is that can last with you for the whole day. I am so pleased to have been able to purchase from you and will by again. One very satisfied customer. Christina Christie I have always enjoyed my perfumes, like my mother and now my daughter and son of course he uses after shave just like his father

Scammed
I paid for an unboxed red bottle Samsara (as pictured) at a price lower than the boxed bee bottle item, and expected to receive what I was presented with and having paid for. Upon receiving, I was surprised to see a "boxed" item which turned out to be a bee bottle. Being in a consumer business, how can the company be this dishonest? I had placed another order for an unboxed Paris edt only to be notified later that it had been removed due to "item not in good condition". Why put it in your inventory in the first place? Please get your process right.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Love
This is for the pure perfume which I found on fragrancex a couple years back. I could not believe how good of value this was at the time and had I known how wonderful this was I would've ordered more than one bottle. I've never had such a beautiful fragrance that I could still smell the next day. Please bring back the pure perfume!!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Beautiful scent
I was looking for a sophisticated sandalwood fragrance. After eyeing this scent for months (even the tester is pretty expensive), I finally went ahead and ordered the tester. It's beautiful. I want to bathe in it lol. It's sweet but not overwhelming. The dry-down is amazing- powdery and sandalwood-y. Will buy this again.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
