Samsara

Guerlain Samsara is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Samsara opens with Citrus, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Iris, and Sandalwood. Guerlain's Samsara carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive, to say the least. This 'new' Samsara has the unenviable task of living up to a legendary original. For some, it's a triumph, a smoother, more wearable take on a classic. For others, it's an insult, a pale imitation of its former glory. Expect compliments or confusion, but rarely indifference.

About

A creamy, woody floral that wraps you in a sophisticated aura. It opens with a delicate whisper of citrus before plunging into a rich heart of Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine, which some find indolic and 'banana-like'. The real magic unfolds in the dry down, a velvety base of Sandalwood, Vanilla, and powdery Iris and Tonka Bean that clings to the skin with a comforting warmth.
