Which Should You Buy?
Samsara is a bona fide classic, but it's not for everyone. While some find its woody floral sophistication timeless, others are put off by a 'dated' vibe. If you want to embody classic elegance with a sensual edge, this is your scent. Just be mindful of the reformulations.
A masterful blend of sandalwood and jasmine, it's both elegant and enduring - a signature scent for cooler months.
