Samsara by Guerlain: launched in 1989. Created by Jean Paul Guerlain.
From Guerlain:
In Sanskrit, Samsara means the eternal cycle of life. It is an imaginary place, sacred and mysterious, where Orient and Occident meet. 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. The bottle, in the sacred red of the Orient, echoes the figure of a Khmer dancer in the Musée Guimet in Paris, her hands folded in a gesture of offering, expressing plenitude and femininity. The stopper evokes the eye of Buddha. A tantalizing floral-oriental perfume, Samsara is a harmonious blend of all-natural essences, including jasmine, ylang ylang, sandalwood and tonka bean.
Fragrance Composition:
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a woody oriental fragrance for women.
- Top notes: bergamot, lemon, ylang-ylang, peach and green notes
- Middle notes: night blooming jasmine, iris, narcissus, violet and rose
- Base notes: Mysore sandalwood, vanilla, tonka bean, amber, and musk
Samsara made use of an aromachemical called Polysantol, one of the best available sandalwood chemicals.
Bottles:
Ruby stained glass pendant bottle encased in a fishnet ornate brass contained the wheel of Ashoka, with its cable and its cover.
