Guerlain Samsara

If you’ve ever been in the market for a truly unique, individual fragrance, I may have just the thing for you. Samsara, by Guerlain, is a romantic, heady Oriental fragrance unlike most anything you have ever smelled before. In the bottle, it is completely unremarkable, in fact, I almost find it to be too strong. However, when combined with the body’s natural oils and the individual chemistry of each woman, it changes into an intoxicating ...
...in college. I had a close friend who came from a very wealthy family, and she always had a huge array of pricey fragrances from around the globe. However, her favorite was Samsara, and each time she would wear it, I fell in love with it more and more. One night we were getting ready to go out, and I asked if I could wear her perfume. I was amazed at how different the scent was on me, yet it was still every bit as mysterious, beautiful and memorable. ...

Review of Guerlain Samsara

Whenever Christmas comes around, my two sons always buy me perfume. I do not have to worry as I think that their girlfriends pick the fragrances for them. The perfume is therefore normally quite modern an up with the times or at least I hope it is. This year I had a bottle of Samsara and a bottle of 5th Avenue. Both fragrances are very strong smelling although I cannot say that I prefer either. They are both very nice. Tact plays a large part in ...
...has a sweet smelling scent that I liken to a Channel type fragrance and it is produced by top designer Elizabeth Arden. The bottle is unusually tall to give the impression of more content. The applicator is a strong spray and I have had no problems with blockages or power loss to the nozzle. The same cannot be said for the Samsara bottle. Samsara comes in a Red bottle and has a slightly stronger smell. The bold smell gives a more elegant aroma which ...

Review of Guerlain Samsara

I discovered this perfume a few years ago, my flatmate donated a bottle to me as she was somehow allergic to it. I really like this perfume, it has a strong scent of musk and spices with a rich essence of vanilla and rose. Its smell reminds me of the Orient if that makes any sense. Although it is quite a heavy perfume, you can definitely get away with wearing it during the day. Although I really like this perfume, it has a few downsides, I would ...
...I don't think that the packaging is anything special, it isn't the kind of bottle you would keep for a dressing table ornament. Anyway if your walking by the fragrance counter give this one a try, you may be pleasantly surprised. An advantage of this perfume is that it is one of the fragrances that Semi Chem sells, I saw it for £14.99 which is a great price (I told my boyfriend this in the hope he would take the hint). ...

Review of Guerlain Samsara

I was shopping one day and a lady walked past wearing the most adorable scent that had ever touched my nostrils. I plucked up courage to speak to her as I had decided my mission was to get the name of the perfume. Why its Samsara she replied. Quick as a flash I found myself in the Debenhams cosmetic department buying the biggest bottle i could get. Squirt squirt. I drenched myself in the sweet, sultry tones and went home. My husband immediately noticed ...
...telling me to have it as my personal perfume. After that my Mum, Sister in law and many friends all asked the same question. Samsara has become the one thing I can't live without. Forget lipstick, Samsara's my friend. Go on spoil yourselves. You won't be disappointed!! ...

Review of Guerlain Samsara

Samsara is made by French perfumier Guerlain. It is not a new ‘modern’, or ‘trendy’ type of fragrance and would not be suitable for the latest unisex ranges. It is a very feminine fragrance and one that is like no other. Its aroma is quite distinctive. It comes in a perfume and in an eau de toilette. The eau de toilette is lighter and less expensive than the perfume. This fragrance was first designed in 1989 and it was aimed at the kind of woman ...
...being too obvious. The name of the perfume is actually from a Sanskrit religious word which refers to the cycle, or circle of eternal rebirth. The bottle itself is red with a gold top and it comes in an equally stunning red box. I would describe the fragrance as sandalwood with a touch of amber and musk. The musk is not too heavy in this case although I do sometimes find musky fragrances over powering. Samara Eau de Toilette is suitable for everyday ...

Review of Guerlain Samsara

...immediately walked over to the Guerlain counter and purchased the biggest bottle I could afford. That was nearly 20 years ago and I still haven't found a perfume that comes anywhere close to Samsara♥ Its distinctive warm, musky sexy scent will stay with you all day. It does tend to smell different on various women, but I feel that adds to its attraction. All my family know me by this scent, and I'm glad the fragrance will always remind them ...

Review of Guerlain Samsara

After testing this perfume in a shop whilst on holidays four years ago I was hooked !! It is a refreshing smell which lasts all day without being too overpowering. It may be expensive but you only need a small spray so it can last you quite a while. It is suitable for every occasion and for everyone of all ages. It has one of those smells which are instantly recognisable. It is a great product and I most definatately reccommend it. However, it is ...

Review of Guerlain Samsara

This fragrance was originally bought for me by on old boyfriend sometime ago, and my initial reaction was, great another musky smellin scent! But once I sprayed a little Irealised why he had chosen this particular parfum, the smell which it has is musky ( which I admit I don't quite like) but in some way subtle and seductive with out being overpowering. I don't know what it is about this scent but not only do I love it, but also, any gentleman that ...

Review of Guerlain Samsara

I found this perfume 8 years ago and it has been "my" perfume ever since. I adore it although it is a quite strong perfume so little is needed My absolute favourite perfume ever. I have always loved the smell Although it is quite a heavy perfume, you can definitely get away with wearing it during the day. I really like this perfume and always have a bottle of it. If i run out of it i will buy it again straight away but everyone is different and and ...

Review of Guerlain Samsara

This fragrance is most certainly in my opinion one for a night out. It has a strong smelling scent to it, which in my mind is recognisable anywhere, I just love this smell. Its a fairly heavy scent with that kind of oriental tang to it! This is a scent that I could never tire of and just love to smell it all time I am wearing it, because its not a sickly smelling perfume. It has excellent staying power, after wearing it all day I can still smell ...
