From the Guerlain website: "Samsara is the symbol of harmony, of absolute osmosis between a woman and her perfume. It is a spiritual voyage leading to serenity and inner contemplation." It is said that this perfume was created for a particular woman who fascinated Jean Paul Guerlain, and that it took him eleven years to perfect it before he presented it to her.
This is a spicy floral oriental for evening wear. A wonderful blend with excellent sillage.
