    This is a great perfume and has been a staple of mine for years. It's a little bit of everything, while not being overpowering. To me, it has a little spice to it with some florally - vanilla. Very...

    I love this perfume! My favorite out of all the Guerlain perfumes I have tried. It's so beautiful, heavy without being too overpowering, but light enough to wear during the day. It's 7:30 PM now...

    I have tried to appreciate Samsara many times in the past, but I never quite liked it enough in order to buy it. I don't know if it's my more mature age (34) or my hormones changing with time, but...

    Syrupy, like cough medicine. Sickeningly sweet and heavy, a liquid equivalent of its bright-red bottle.

    I should love, however it just does not work with my chemistry. I can smell the bottle all day, however, once sprayed on my skin, it becomes an unpleasant combination of urine and ammonia. It...

    I am very picky about my EDT or perfume, since who knows what will make you grab a headache. My sweet husband bought this for me, the EDT, after smelling it on a piece of paper (exactly what can...

    Gorgeous sandalwood, nice Guerlain quality. Ylang-ylang and jasmine make it a no for me.

    This review is for the EDT. Samsara is absolutely divine. It's definitely a cold weather fragrance. It has that quality about it that just lures you in and is so comforting. Methinks it's the...

    Sandalwood is one of those notes that always seem to take over on my skin, so with Samsara parfum I stood absolutely no chance! This is a very heavy, exotic sandalwood dominated scent on a musky...

    I was walking around WHSmiths (newsagents in UK) and noticed a man following me. I did the old turn left 3 times (like they do in the movies) and he was still following me. He eventually...

    Now I think this smells similar to VS "Rapture". I dont mind this perfume but I tend to lean towards spicy/woody orientals. This dries down too powdery for me. I like more "kick" to my...

    Samsara is my HG fragrance. I've gotten a sample when it first came out and was thinking OMG, what a beautiful rich scent. Mind you, at the time I was in high school so many people probably don't...

    A true oriental, so if you don't care for amber, then don't go there. The opening notes are vile, harsh, loud and brassy, but they fade off into a rather nice amber/vanilla type oriental base. ...

    Chernobyl never stood a chance. Samsara is not for the weak of heart, the temperamental of body chemistry, or the mild of disposition. It will flatten you where you stand. Possibly even do a...

    Samsara is so strong and immediately recognisable- I smelled a woman walking down the street the other day wearing Samsara...in the middle of July. I can't pull this off as a summer scent, it is...

    This was the first fragrance was ever given/purchased. My mum bought if for me for Xmas when I finished my final year of exams at school in 1991. I still really like it. Don't wear it as much as...

    Samsara is my all-time favorite fragrance. I do lean towards favoring orientals, and this one is perfect for me (depending on the occasion and mood). Like many fine fragrances, the scent varies a...

    Beware! Samsara is a truly heavy oriental that feels like wearing a wool blanket in summer. I couldn't wear this without feeling hot and steamy. (and not the good hot and steamy). I'll pass.
