    This is one of my favorite oriental perfumes! The scent is sensual and mysterious and the dry down on my skin is absolutely lovely.

    I get so many compliments when I wear this. In my opinion Samsara is a winner. It's very expensive so best purchased duty free when traveling. I think it's too expensive for me to consider...

    This is for the EdT. Boring, bland vanilla with vague undertones of coconut. Yuck. Got none of the rich oriental spiciness that others have described. Another Guerlian washout for me yet again.

    I first smelled this back in high school in the early 90's. A friend of mine wore it and I found it intoxicating and exotic, a scent I could hardly describe. All I knew was I wanted it. Years...

    I love most older Guerlains, and enjoy most oriental style fragrances - deep, dark, smoeky, incensey, spicy, sultry...you get the idea. I received this in a swap - it's the edt concentration. On...

    I like it but I don't love it. Too powdery... It is oriental, sexy, smokey, seductive, but again - too powdery.

    As with all Guerlain scents there is a story to reference that is behind the name. Samsara is no exception. The word Samsara is bastardized from the Vedic/Hindu word Samskara, which refers to the...

    This is for the EDP. At first blast it is very sweet and thick smelling but not very cloying, thank goodness. As it wore on through the day it became very creamy and soft with just the right amount...

    If any fragrance is my signature scent, this is it. I love trying new fragrances so I've got a whole collectionof them, but somehow I keep coming back to Samsara. I find it comforting - which I...

    I know Samsara is a classic and quite the golden oldie, but the first sniff of it on my wrist knocked me back good. I felt as though two bazookas had been whammed up my nostrils. Bringing my nose...

    Sultry. Sex(y). This is what comes to mind when wearing Samsara. Wow- I can't think of a more flagrant oriental right now. It's the basenotes of sandalwood, vanilla amber, musk and tonka bean that...

    i just can't decide if I like this scent enough to keep it or if I should just swap it away. It's spicy and warm and I *should* like it, but there's something just not right - a rotten fruit note...
