Samsara Eau de Toilette

Samsara is woody, powdery, sweet, mature, cozy, and self-assured.

When I passed by it while testing in the perfumery, I remembered that I had heard good things about it.

After spraying it on, I couldn't help but smile - I know this scent! My favorite professor wears it often. So at first, I wasn't sure if I should get it, as I don't like to wear the same fragrances as people around me. But at the same time, I'm not the most patient person, and soon enough, a bottle of the EDT found its way to me. What can I say - I love it!

The top notes are a bit sharp at first, but the sillage is immediately powdery soft and becomes even more beautiful, spicier, and warmer over time. Definitely a fragrance that shines best from about 30cm away - perfect. Not too overpowering, not too weak.

The next day, the clothes smell wonderful, the base lasts incredibly long, and over time, it invites you to stick your nose in even more.

Since I don't have a particular talent for picking out specific notes, I'll just say this: sandalwood and jasmine.

I currently enjoy wearing it in the cool temperatures at all times of the day, preferably in the afternoon.
In my opinion, it suits many occasions - as it is both cuddly and elegant, it is very adaptable. I'm curious about summer!

Am I too young for this fragrance from a conservative perspective? Maybe. Do I care? Definitely!

Scorpio, yes, I’d love to try that out :) I asked for a 7.5ml bottle of the vintage EDP for Christmas and I'm really looking forward to it!

Try to get a mini of Samsara on eBay. The old extrait is in the square bottle. NOW that's a fragrance!
