Samsara Eau de Parfum by Guerlain is a warm, powdery floral built on creamy sandalwood, rich and unhurried. It opens with peach, bergamot, lemon and a green edge, softened by ylang-ylang. The heart is a full bouquet: iris and orris root, jasmine, narcissus, rose and violet. Then sandalwood takes over, wrapped in vanilla, amber, tonka bean and musk, sweet and golden. It dates from 1989 and is usually worn by women who enjoy a classic, generous floral. Voters wear it on autumn and winter evenings and late into the night, often when going out. The longevity vote leans long-lasting and the sillage vote leans strong, so a light hand works best. A 3ml decant lets you spend a few evenings with it before you pick up the bottle.

The community verdict
Peach and bergamot give Samsara Eau de Parfum a bright start before iris and jasmine give way to a powdery sandalwood base. Wear time divides between long and exceptionally long; strong projection is the leading response, followed by moderate. It suits winter nights and autumn evenings out; its floral weight calls for a light hand.

The house
More from Guerlain
Guerlain dates back to 1828, when Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain began making scents in France, and the house has been polishing one warm, powdery signature ever since. Vanilla, iris and tonka bean run through the range, brightened by bergamot and settled on sandalwood. Start with Shalimar Eau de Parfum: sparkling citrus that sinks slowly into amber and vanilla. Mon Guerlain wraps lavender in a soft vanilla haze, while La Petite Robe Noire is dark cherry with a sugared edge. For something lighter, Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic is fresh and green. Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk are among the perfumers credited on the range here.
