Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Samsara Eau de Parfum
A legendary scent that's loved, longed for, and occasionally loathed. Vintage bottles are considered masterpieces, while newer formulations are seen as a shadow of their former glory. It's truly a perfume that transcends mere fragrance, provoking strong emotional connections.

Our Verdict - Kashaya Eau de Toilette
Kashaya is the 90s fruity-floral you never knew you needed. It's a divisive one, some find it too sweet or dated, yet a passionate bunch call it a comforting, unique masterpiece. A true Sophia Grojsman creation, not for the faint of heart.
