I've worn this scent as my "signature" since 1989. It's still my favorite. I get complimented on it all the time. Love!!!

Wow... definitely quite something to behold! Probably one of the most sensual fragrances I have ever come across. It's almost as if every single sensual and tropical aroma was combined together...

I expected a powerhouse but Samsara really isn't one, at least the modern EDT which is the one I have. It opens with a quite old fashioned combo of iris, and bergamot with a hint of lemon and...

Guerlain Samsara launched in 1989 and was my #1 favorite around 1990 or so. I remember when I first sprayed it on to test -- then walked around the mall -- then I had to make a bee-line back to...

Lightly spiced, smooth sandalwood, balmy florals of ylang-ylang, jasmine, and creamy hints of powdered vanilla in a lasting drydown. It is an Oriental so it feels rich, yet its manages to be fresh,...

This review is regarding the reformulated EDT. Sadly, it really isn't as good as it was. The old formulation used to linger on my skin and clothes for a long, long time. I remember it going on for...

I'm big and bold; I have sillage and staying power that won't quit. I am a true classic. While shalimar remains my favorite scent of all time, I bought this on a whim from nordie's blind. I...

This is a huge, unapologetic fragrance. Even in EdT form it is enormous. Samsara is an over the top combination of jasmine and sandalwood. Previously, in the 90's it contained a lot of Mysore...

EdT: It opens with a heady jasmine, almost too much to the nose, but wait! It slowly gets softer, the vanilla steps in. If you love woody fragrances this is for you. Personally I love it. The...

This started off with a very nice (if potent) vanilla-jasmine-tuberose with a hint of spice, but I don't care for the drydown. The vanilla become too sugary and thick and slightly chemical without...

A classic and a must-have...BUT, I hate it. It smells too thin and spicy for me.

I remember vividly my mum wearing this back in the early 90s as soon as I smelled this! Lovely woody vanilla, very loud and great longevity and sillage. A true classic

parfum: I'd get a sample first. On some people, its a skins scent. I am so envious of them, because on me, its still a little loud for a solid 15 min. As soon as I opened the package, it was...

This is one of my all time faves that I come back to again and again. I love the rich sandalwood and jasmine smell.

Pure powder & sandalwood here. To me, this smells almost exactly like Estee Lauder's Sensuous, or should I say, Sensuous smells almost exactly like it. IMO, this would smell best on a more "mature"...
