The "Samsara" eau de toilette by Guerlain

Everything is consistent in "Samsara": its marketing concept, its juice, its bottle, its communication.

Composition of the fragrance "Samsara" by Guerlain


"Samsara" starts on citrus head notes, with the freshness of bergamot bound to lemon, aromatic tarragon and green notes. This departure blends with the floral bouquet of the heart jasmine, carnation, rose and ylang-ylang. The bottom gives us notes of sandalwood, very marked, of benzoin, warm, woody and fruity, very often used in the oriental as vanilla and the tonka bean for the caramelized note. Sandalwood and jasmine are here the central agreement of creation, its olfactory signature: they are sacred essences in Tibet, the scents of the gods and Buddhist temples. The sandal smoke brings all its strength and depth to "Samsara", making this perfume a wrapping and enticing cocktail, to be dosed sparingly.
