  Floral and woody, absolutely delicious. I’ll buy it again once it runs out. It’s elegant, relaxing, pleasant, and puts you in a great mood. A beautiful creation by Guerlain’s master, a cult classic.

  I remember the first time I had it, a feeling of positive energy, almost at the turn of the millennium. No one warned us that the sugar kings and air fresheners were coming. Samsara before the reformulation was still Samsara, but afterwards, with all the drama over ingredients, it became a wild 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 obsession with making all bottles look the same. Before, we bought extracts in crystal temples and wonderful boxes, a pleasure for the soul. Today, originality is in candies, coconut, or pistachio, smelling like a salad. Soon they’ll create the scent of ridiculousness taken to the extreme and feel like they’re in paradise. That’s what they call modernity. Class is born, not made or bought, just like these jewels used to be.

  Life has those crazy twists to give you exactly what you’re searching for: in my backroom in the 90s, I was already collecting vintage but couldn’t afford anything. Until I met a woman, and when I entered her house, I saw she had perfumes from her deceased sister. She showed me the collection, and seeing my face of awe, she told me she’d give them to me. I insisted, but she was genuine, so she gave me 9 bottles, including the Guerlain Samsara EDP. I opened it, and although I have 50 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 based on what I’ve read, it seems interesting.

  Guerlain Samsara, wow! It’s my favorite 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 age 10 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 hard to compare. I’m talking about the first version: a spicy oil scent with fine essences. At 11, my sense of smell perceived ingredients that evoked Aladdin’s castle, flying carpets, and Arab princesses. I remember the vanilla-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 you don’t want to take off 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 mom used it, and although she was in her room far from the living room, the fragrance invaded the whole space. An unforgettable perfume. Today, I treasure two miniatures kept like gold coins in a box, because the current reformulation wiped that beautiful, unique first version off the face of the earth. An out-of-this-world perfume that set a very high standard, as none have removed it from my throne. I don’t understand why perfume houses ruin them with reformulations; if they were hits 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 strike and a life shared. 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, and the most incredible, creamy vanilla and tonka bean notes. All its notes 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. Extraterrestrial longevity and trail. You could wash your clothes and still smell it hanging in the closet. I can’t count how many times people asked me what I was wearing. I still keep a bottle of the current Samsara, but I’m not able to use it because I feel like it’s a soulless clone of the original, and every time I’ve tried to wear it, it’s been a heartbreak. It breaks my heart. It’s no longer Samsara; it’s something else. It smells very good, of course, and retains some of the original DNA, so from time to time I smell it, and its notes bring back memories of my soulmate 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 but delicious; the sandalwood was the star, sweet but different, nothing gourmand. I imagine that the vanilla, peach, and sandalwood together create that miracle that is Samsara… I love it and I think I will always love it. Now I have a small bottle of the old version that I don’t plan to use because the reformulated one isn’t equal to my beloved original.

  This was my signature perfume for my 20s. It was beautiful, lasted all day—more than 20 hours—and on clothes it was eternal. I remember my little sister broke a bottle (almost committed murder 🤭), and the room smelled like Samsara for months. This perfume was truly a tattoo. I bought it again a couple of months ago, and although it keeps the DNA, it’s not even a shadow of what it used to be. It smells good, yes, but the longevity is a joke—less than 7 hours. Why do they reformulate perfumes!!! It’s a sacrilege.

  Ayy Samsara… I searched for it because of a review, clearly out of my time since I wasn’t born when it was created, and I was lucky to find a vintage version. What a blessing!!!! What a beautiful perfume, please. It’s so wonderful, so unique. Those accords are magnificent. It’s my favorite perfume in my entire collection. I use it drop by drop, though luckily I have a backup, but I can’t imagine it running out. It’s a perfume that makes me feel safe, cocooned, and loved. How can you give that up? I even wore it on my wedding day to remember it forever 💕. It’s truly creamy. It smells like my grandma and my mom mixed together to go to church. I put it on and feel accompanied. I’ve never perceived a similar scent. I have, had, and inherit many perfumes, but none are like it. I still don’t know if meeting you was a blessing or a curse, Samsara. It’s like first love; you know it’s going to end, but you can’t stop loving it. Everything is beautiful. Its bottle, its box, and its contents. It’s a perfume not for everyone. I haven’t tried the reformulated version, but I’ll have to when my vintage bottles run out… I use perfumes according to my mood, so I couldn’t 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 no one will ever be equal to me. And I don’t know if it’s unconscious, but the happiness and peace I transmit when I wear it are real; it’s one of the perfumes that has received the most compliments. I wear it at home and when going out. It’s 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, because besides the talent of the masters of old, the entire framework is missing—a different way of living. Things have changed: 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 realize it could be the perfect companion for someone who, upon spraying it on their skin, achieves a magical alchemy. Having the chance to try creations of this caliber in their vintage versions (thanks to the beloved and now gone Rebecavpf) is like having a ticket to Perfume University. This is a soft, sensual oriental. This is exactly how those women smell for whom elegance, seduction, and glamour are not just words. It wraps around you like an exotic touch of a warm breeze. It’s soft, intoxicating, and a delicious blend of creamy, muted spices. It has an aged feel, like a lost magic potion that suddenly appears in your hands. You don’t just wear this; you gradually discover what a fragrance of such caliber can do. It’s one of those distinctive scents that creates a very special aura around the wearer, with that powdery sweetness that is an immediate invitation to closeness. A perfume like the magic of a first encounter, where anything is possible but nothing is promised. In the dry down, the peach note is truly beautiful and keeps reappearing, coexisting with bergamot and lemon. Soon after comes a magnificent bouquet of flowers, lush in a noble glass vase. But the most beautiful part of this blend for me is, without a doubt, the iris, which gradually asserts itself, stands out more and more, never lacking confidence. Initially, it seems cold, visibly breaking down into its powdery components, then becoming warm, soft, and sensual, as if absorbing the other floral notes in its powdery embrace. It still carries that fraction of flowers and dust, but the craving for more doesn’t stop, and all together arrive a heap of vanilla, amber, tonka bean, and a sandalwood only Guerlain knew how to make. At this point, it transforms into an explosion of pure fragrance, infinitely sensual and frivolous, lascivious and demanding, almost like a woman full of eroticism stepping out of a bottle, so to speak. But 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.

  Samsara… I used it more than 20 years ago, haven’t bought or smelled it since, but I remember its scent vividly and would recognize it among a thousand. A beautiful perfume with a powerful trail and great longevity. Luxurious and elegant, for those who don’t want to go unnoticed.

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

  Luckily, I still have the original red bottle with a very elegant design. The scent is a tender amber over top-quality sandalwood; I absolutely love it on women over 45, though it’s not that it doesn’t suit other ages—it just conveys a certain maturity.

  This review is for the little red bottle in the photo. The opening takes me back several years; it has that vintage vibe I was hoping for. The first thing you smell is peach. Then comes the best part: a floral bouquet with a wonderful ylang-ylang, nothing banana-like or beachy (perfect for temperate/cold climates), with notes of jasmine, narcissus, and iris. As it settles, the powdery accord becomes more noticeable. It definitely has that Guerlain accord. Moderate projection and very good longevity. The dry down is a tender, feminine powdery ylang with vanilla undertones, noticeable starting from the second hour.

  I own three bottles of this gem; I love it, it’s fabulous for me. A sweet, powdery, very elegant, and personality-filled fragrance. You can really smell the sandalwood, vanilla, tonka bean, and incense—so rich… it’s utterly enchanting.

  Samsara is officially and forever dead. First it was the clear bottle, then the red one, and now the bee version, which is basically just cologne water but better than nothing. Luckily I saw it coming and had time to stock up on a few red bottles, and now I’ve grabbed a few of the bee ones too, but sooner or later they’ll run out. The new Samsara has only seven notes and a square 75ml format like the Mitsuko. A historical myth in international perfumery has died, and I’m crying over its loss with impotence and frustration. I can’t understand why; it has a loyal client base, keeps gaining customers, and sells like hotcakes—so why? I don’t get the big corporations, but one thing is clear: they don’t move unless they make money.

  I absolutely adore Samsara and will never forget how I first discovered it, because it came wrapped in a beautiful story of friendship. One night with a group of girlfriends at a club, suddenly I was hit by bursts of a sublime fragrance; I fell in love at first sniff, my heart raced, I needed it, I wanted to smell like that, and look at me, I was already wearing a powerhouse, 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 had 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; it was worn by an incredible woman, a stunning mulatto with endless legs in stiletto heels and platforms, glowing brown skin from the sweat, a tiny sheer chiffon dress covering a sculptural body with a wasp waist; as her only adornments, a tight necklace from the kind sold by Native Americans in the Everglades, made of shells and beads, and feather earrings; hair pulled back, spectacular yellow eyes, and a gorgeous, sincere smile. She left me breathless, I didn’t dare speak to such a breathtaking beauty, but her scent had me absolutely captivated. There I was, stunned and staring, until we started dancing. A crowd of guys formed around us, we started laughing in a gesture of complicity, and eventually, I dared to ask her, I confess the last shot of vodka helped quite a bit. Samsara was her perfume, and just like me, she was also a lover and collector of fragrances; by then I already had 4 or 5 unconditional favorites. We started talking and spent the night dancing and laughing; a bunch of young, beautiful, carefree girls, alone, you can imagine it or you already know. It was getting light, so we all went to the beach to watch the sunrise and then to grab some real Cuban coffee, strong and dark, and a huge sandwich of bread with lechon at a Cuban cafe on Collins Avenue where all of Miami went to refuel with delicious sandwiches and typical dishes after burning our energy all night dancing. We spent hours laughing, stealing each other’s words, and sharing our sorrows and joys, until sleep finally won. The next day we went together to buy a bottle of Samsara, I think it was at Saks in Surfside. Since then, Samsara became my signature scent and Evelyn one of my best friends; besides sharing perfume, we shared adventures, a few harmless pranks, we laughed and cried on each other’s shoulders, and danced many other nights in dark, trendy clubs, smelling of sweat, cigarettes, and Samsara. Later, due to life’s circumstances, we lost touch, but I’ll never forget the beautiful friendship we had and the time we 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 among other things I wonder, what perfume will she be wearing now? and I know with certainty that she will ask herself the same. For now, I have stockpiles of Samsara and more perfumes than I can possibly use, but I’m already on the hunt for a new scent that will make me vibrate, that will raise the goosebumps on my skin, that I’ll never grow tired of, and that I can wear without fear of running out.

  Bought it hoping it would be a true unisex scent. It is, but not entirely. It opens with a delicious fruity burst that I wish would last longer, then explodes into a floral bomb—my nose picks out a rose that smells like ball deodorant, probably due to the iris. I really don’t like this middle stage. But if you can power through it, the true personality emerges: a beautiful vanilla and talc-infused sandalwood. This final phase lasts forever. Honestly, having to endure those unhelpful flowers… I’m not sure it was worth it. Update: Yes, it was worth it.

  Samsara was my signature scent from 2006 to 2015; in fact, I copied it from a coworker who sprayed it everywhere, even in her ironing water, bringing the scent of the 1001 Nights. When my semi-vintage bottles ran out (around 2005-2009), I picked up several vintage versions from the 90s, both EDP and EDT; they were all faded except one. A word to the wise: if you’re missing it, let it die in peace like I did, because what they’re selling today is an absolute atrocity.

  The original bottle is a work of art. It’s been my perfume for over 30 years, since its launch in 1989, and it brings back so many memories, especially my second wedding, as I chose this fragrance for that special day. In my opinion, you need to get used to it; the first time it can seem a bit overwhelming, but after wearing it on your skin several times, you slowly fall in love. It starts citrusy, then the floral aroma arrives with a talc note that makes you feel elegant, and to seal it all, a spectacular vanilla that makes you vibrate. The longevity on skin is spectacular, over 12 hours, and on clothes, it’s no less—it stays impregnated for days; several pieces I own still carry that characteristic scent. It’s for grand occasions and formal events, a scent that gives you presence and elegance. I haven’t tried the new version yet, but reviews say it’s not the same anymore and is less potent. I hope it keeps its characteristic scent; otherwise, it would be a shame and a huge loss in perfumery.

  It’s become one of my favorites. Basically, it’s a game of jasmine, roses, sandalwood, and vanilla. The vanilla stands out as it dries, very natural without that pasty touch found in other fragrances. If you love jasmines, it’s a great option, although here the jasmine turns warm, a bit powdery, and sweet.

  That sandalwood mixed 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 sheets after a spicy dinner, in the middle of a seduction where Samsara is key alongside Nirvana. It also takes me back centuries, to golden odalisque dances that exuded this fusion of elements that created the Samsara scent in the harems. A beautiful gift from Guerlain.

  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 wasn’t a perfume with so much sandalwood for women. The bottle is gorgeous. Upon application, I first thought of another fruity and green ylang-ylang; I liked it but didn’t fall in love until the sweet, buttery, and powdery floral notes arrived. A marvel that captivated me. After half an hour, it becomes something impressive. It’s super elegant, feminine, ideal for dressing up a bit or wearing it on the inner arm with good music and a coffee. It lasts a long time on skin (let’s not talk about clothes), becoming present for hours, 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.

  Guerlain didn’t fall behind on 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. Watch out, it’s not an all-rounder; it feels out of place with young and casual styles. Better not to buy blindly.

  Years ago I approached a perfumery and tried Samsara. At the time, Guerlain was unknown and great feminine fragrances were unexplored except for the ones 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 ’96 of the first presentation. I slowly entered its universe so as never to abandon it. Starting powerful, the floral and iris notes quickly give way to ylang-ylang that mixes with jasmine. Vanilla and sandalwood close with a long-lasting drydown. The trail depends on the sprays. I find it round, a floral interpretation with a soft oriental vocation. It has great quality in its composition. Few differences between the ’96 and 2000 versions; the older one has a more robust sandalwood. I haven’t known the current one.

  I love this perfume that has accompanied me for 30 years. I have to have it; it’s my personal identification. Everyone knows I’m me by my Samsara. What I did notice in the last two years is that it no longer has the same concentration of scents 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 airplane pressure might have modified the consistency, but it’s not the case. It seems several of us are going through the same thing. A pity, but I remain faithful to it.

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

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

  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.

  A lamentable loss… Although it’s currently sold in the house’s new formats, the current Samsara is 60% of what the edt was, but here they market it as an edp. This jewel was a reference in orientals and curiously had its enemy at home, Shalimar. Two timeless masterpieces. It’s a shame 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 60% concentration of the edt. Lamentable. Very lamentable. Its trail is moderate for the first hour and drops to the skin afterwards (no more than 8 hours).

• Miky

  August 14, 2019

  

  First off, it’s no longer in that format; another piece of garbage from Guerlain… the reformulation is an idiotic move. It’s no longer Samsara; now they’re selling it in bottles identical to the Aqua Allegoria line. It smells different than when it was in the Fragantica jar, but well… if what we want is something similar to the original Samsara, we’ll just go to the perfumery and sniff that ridiculous bottle. But if we’re looking to feel what it made us feel… sorry, that’s no longer possible. It doesn’t last like it used to, it doesn’t smell the same, and the sillage isn’t there either. Longevity: 3-4 hours. Sillage: moderate. Bravo… Guerlain.

  What a powerful perfume! And I repeat: overwhelmingly powerful! 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 this; 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 it were fermented, with a strong, fine, rich, complex, and deep incense. Some people don’t like it, but indisputably, not every woman is capable or dignified enough to carry so much aromatic power with style. It’s a superb perfume that makes everyone else bow in reverence. 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 (natural enough since my nose was used to smelling fresh air and sweets), but now as an adult, I have admiration and respect for it.

  It’s heat made into perfume, it’s the magic of alchemists, it’s the true ambassador of the East. How much do we have to write before they discontinue it? What do we do to stop them from changing the original formula? A formula that made history should remain untouched like any great French work of art.

  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 it wasn’t like that before.

  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 like only after 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 an absolute universal icon of the sacredness in which we wrap our bodies. Samsara demands respect and deserves a permanent spot on the market shelves. Speaking of its spiritual and aromatherapeutic side, it needs to be labeled as a medicinal fragrance for all chakras, from the root to the crown. Without wasting a thing, it manages to seduce without the carnality of other worldly perfumes.

  A beautiful perfume SAMSARA, life, death, and resurrection (Buddhist and Hindu philosophy), a fruit of creator Jean Paul Guerlain’s love for an English girl, dedicating to her two of his favorite 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 this beautiful bottle for this masterpiece, inspired by exotic Indian beauty, taking its representative red color. What luck for those who still have this beauty in its vintage version. It brings me so many childhood memories; it was one of my mother’s favorite perfumes in the 80s and she used it very often… I was hypnotized by its scent. Sandalwood is indeed its standout note, but it’s a soft, sweet, and creamy sandalwood, playing 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 of being worn with great confidence; I feel it’s more oriental-floral than woody on my pH, blending in so perfectly. Without a doubt, lovers of good classic aromas with a broad olfactory palate will love it. Sillage: 8/10. Longevity: 9/10. Scent: 10/10.

  Let me tell you, I bought it blindly just based on your comments… crossing my fingers that I’d 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, the intensity drops after a few minutes and the heart note remains, and I fell in love all over again. It’s extremely different from my usual taste; I’m a citrus perfume person, I was looking for something different that would stick to the approaching temperature in my country, Chile… autumn-winter. I think it’s perfect. Thanks to all the users… Great Samsara.

  Samsara isn’t 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’s out with a new presentation, and I just ordered it from a well-known store. It’s worth every penny.

  Samsara is 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: ‘That smells so good!’ ‘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 mom (without knowing it was from the Guerlain house) and she wasn’t lost, as my mom used Shalimar her whole life. A difficult scent to describe; for me, it’s elegant, sensual, with a lot of personality. A true oriental.
