Classic is immortal. This famous expression definitely applies to the Guerlain Samsara perfume, which has been produced for almost 30 years.
How did the history of their creation begin? How did the idea for the fragrance come about? What words can describe it? When it comes to perfumery, a lot of questions immediately arise. The most interesting of them should be answered. After all, the fragrance is truly legendary.
A bit of history
In 1828 the House of Guerlain was founded in France. Its founder was Pierre Francois Pascal Guerlain, an alchemist who graduated in this speci alty in England.
The perfume house, which today is one of the oldest and most famous in France, was at first an ordinary drugstore. In his cellars, Pierre Francois mixed his fragrances.
He had few clients at first, but they were all famous people. Even Napoleon III and Balzac ordered fragrances from him. By the way, especially for the first president of the Frenchrepublic, the cologne Guerlain Eau De Cologne Imperiale was developed, which is still produced.
But it is worth returning to the discussion of the Guerlain Samsara fragrance. It appeared at a time when Jean-Paul, the grandson of its founder, was the head of the perfume house. It was under his leadership that the company became a world famous brand.
Creating a fragrance
Perfume "Guerlain Samsara" appeared in 1989. The name for the mysterious fragrance from Sanskrit is translated very interestingly. "Samsara" is an endless circle of life, the place where East and West meet.
This name suits the fragrance very well. It gives its owner a certain unpredictability, sexual sensuality and mystery. These perfumes create an atmosphere of originality, perfection and complete harmony. Their thin, refined train seems to lead to serenity, tranquility and inner contemplation.
The impression of Guerlain Samsara enhances the look of the bottle. It is made in an attractive deep red color, and the shape is a bit like the outline of a dancer from Cambodia.
It is interesting that this perfume, however, like many others from the perfume house, was dedicated to the woman who was the inspiration, the muse for Jean-Paul Guerlain. Her name was Decia de Pau. She not only won the heart of the perfumer, but also became his wife.
But the girl did not use perfume, because in all the years of her life she did not find “her own” fragrance. And how could Jean-Paul, the eminent perfumer,to leave the woman you love without her own scent? Of course, he was inspired.
Guerlain quickly figured out Desei's tastes and created a perfume especially for her. Later, Jean-Paul wrote: "Then I had only one desire - to give this woman the world that would reveal her true essence and true sensuality"
Description of perfume
It is very difficult to explain in words exactly how Guerlain Samsara perfume smells. Better than any long descriptions would be one short breath, which definitely excited millions of receptors in each person. But it is worth trying to "explain" the smell of this perfume.
The fragrance is classified as woody, oriental, oriental. It contains the following notes:
- Top: ylang-ylang, bergamot, peach, lemon & herbs.
- Middle: violet, rose, iris and its root, narcissus and jasmine.
- Base: sandalwood, musk, iris, vanilla, amber, and fruits of the dipteryx tree.
Samsara perfume is called a sensual, captivating and reverent fragrance, which is both intense and serene.
First encounter with fragrance
The above was about the manufacturer Guerlain Samsara, so now you can pay attention to the reviews.
Most of the girls who wear perfume say it's a masterpiece. No wonder, because a man deeply in love could not do something mediocre.
Although some girls do not feelspecial delight. In this case, you need to put the test strip aside for a while, and return to it after a while. You will surely like the notes that develop over time.
No? Of course, there is a possibility that the flavor just did not suit your taste. But the vast majority of women are convinced that such a beautiful smell cannot but be liked. Perhaps, for the girl, his time has not yet come. It happens. It's like food: many people hate olives in childhood, and at an older age they begin to adore.
Only here the situation is somewhat different. Because this is not about food, but about aroma - serious, thoughtful, immersive, not frivolous. You need to understand it, come to it, feel it and comprehend it.
What is the fragrance on the skin?
But here it is impossible to give a definite answer. Because on each girl the same spirits are revealed in different ways. After all, the skin also has a unique smell.
On some girls, "Guerlain Samsara" opens softly, with delicate creamy notes and an amazing ylango-iris trail.
Others say they smell a distinctly warm, thick, even dense yet incredibly inviting scent of vanilla that even confectioners would envy.
There are still girls who claim that after wearing Guerlain Samsara, invigorating notes of bergamot and tart greens, slightly softened by sweet ylang-ylang, prevail on them.
It is not uncommon for women to claim that this fragrance has a pleasant resinous sound, shrouded in a thin plume of vanilla, spices and even powder.
Sweet, rich, enveloping, whimsical, sensual, energetic, ice-cream, vintage… Guerlain Samsara perfume is not described in many words. The description of the fragrance, based on their reviews, can be very detailed, several pages long. It is important that there are no negative reviews about this perfume. Yes, some will admit that the fragrance is very difficult. But this is not a minus, but just another feature that makes Guerlain Samsara even more attractive.
Retro echoes and the smell of blood
With such loud phrases, the girls, who do not understand this perfume, rush towards Samsara. Indeed, from many women who discuss this romantic fragrance, you can hear that the perfume smells of blood, and it also “ages”.
Some find the smell bleak. They say that at the top it smells of blood and tears, in the middle it is a real "lump in the throat", and in the base - pain, which happens when calming down after a long hysteria.
Very dark. But there is also such an opinion, and it is impossible not to mention it. Although in the vast majority of reviews about Guerlain Samsara, girls who are familiar with such perfumes share their bewilderment.
But even more surprising is the conviction of some people that this is a retro fragrance. Allegedly age, for those who are "for". However, this is absolutely not the case. Perfume "Guerlain Samsara" has no age. It's just for women - beautiful, sensual, attractive. For true ladies and ladies, and not for glamorous girls or ladies from the market. Such a counterargument is given by girls who disagree withassertion about retro echoes.
And besides, this perfume was released only in 1989. Where would retro come from? However, one cannot argue here zealously. Since the topic of perfumery is as subjective as possible. Perhaps a small part of the girls, due to their associations and the specifics of the receptors, simply perceive this fragrance differently.
Samsara is the perfect gift
And many girls will confirm this. If a man wants to give his woman a gift on March 8 that will be unforgettable, then he should pay attention to these perfumes.
They are good not only for their unique aroma, but also for their presentable appearance. No description of the Guerlain Samsara bottle will convey the true character of its appearance. It's good to have photos. But in real life he looks much more attractive.
Strict bottle of perfect shape, deep burgundy color. Beautiful, rich color, personifying life itself, passion, challenge. It overshadows all other vials that are nearby. It looks like it has a spirit in it. However, the fragrance itself suggests such thoughts – is it so “alive” and meaningful.
And in what packaging are these perfumes offered! Such a gift to a woman on March 8 does not need to be additionally placed in a festive box or package. No wrapping paper will overshadow the nobility and sophistication of this presentable, royal package.
Who is Samsara good for?
Initially, this fragrance was created for a luxurious, somewhat languid and fatal woman whofound balance and harmony in my life. Only such a lady will suit this sensual perfume variation on the theme of seduction.
True connoisseurs are expressed even more simply - perfume "Samsara" is created for the ideal woman. And we are not talking about beauties from the covers of glossy magazines. That is too demonstrative, standard, already familiar to everyone.
"Samsara" for women who are personalities, unique seductresses only for their only men. It is not for nothing that the topic of relationships is touched upon here, since the smell itself has become the fruit of sincere, boundless love in its purest embodiment.
"Samsara" - the smell of a woman. Calm, self-sufficient, peaceful, but deep down very strong and strong-willed. This is the smell of that woman who has known the depth of the meaning of life. It can warm and comfort, create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. This scent suits her perfectly. And she, having tried "Samsara" once, will no longer be able to use other spirits. Tens of thousands of girls are proof of that.
Do men like it?
This question also comes up quite often. If you carefully study the reviews of the girls left about this fragrance, you will notice how many of them describe with admiration the reaction of young people to Samsara. Even if it was they who gave them these perfumes. Again, on a person, perfume reveals itself in a special, unique way.
In the eyes of a man, the owner of such a fragrance becomes as if sexier, more charming, more elegant, more graceful. And this is not surprising. The scent of love is just notcan create a different aura around the girl.
Besides, smells play a very significant role in the world of sensual relationships. The sense of smell is a kind of foundation of human feelings. And smell is information that characterizes a person, is a kind of "indicator" of the internal and external state of a person.
Therefore, that girl, who by her nature has all the previously listed qualities, having perfumed herself a little with Samsara, becomes even more attractive, passionate and alluring. This fragrance silently alludes to a man on her ardor, lifts the veil of secret desires. "Samsara" characterizes a girl without words. And in the best possible way.
The exciting effect in this case is even logically explainable. Ylang-ylang, one of the notes of this perfume, is the king of aphrodisiacs - substances that stimulate attraction and sensuality. Also attractiveness is characteristic of vanilla, bergamot and musk. The latter, by the way, belongs to the list of the strongest male aphrodisiacs, and is a powerful female stimulant.
However, if you delve into the study of this topic, you will find that absolutely all the components of the fragrance have aphrodisiac properties. Except for one gentle and innocent violet.
Season and time
Many are wondering when is the best time to wear this fragrance. Most women say that time and season don't matter to them at all.
They are just absolutely in love with this fragrance, that's all. And therefore they always use it:
- in the morning, when leaving for work;
- afternoon, sunny weekend before a walk;
- in the evening, going on a date.
Moreover, the fragrance is very persistent - just one or two clicks on the spray bottle is enough to keep the smell on the skin or clothes for 2-3 days.
But some say that it is especially cozy with Samsara in the evenings and in winter. The scent is warm, enveloping and great in cool weather.
There are even girls who claim that they are almost sure of the possibility of "touching" this fragrance - they call it palpable. In fact, no matter how it sounds, such a bright, catchy description is quite revealing. Such emotions simply cannot be evoked by a mediocre fragrance.
Where to buy and what is the price?
You can buy these perfumes (original) brought from France in trusted perfume networks or by ordering online. The cost of a 100 ml bottle is approximately 5.5 thousand rubles. This is the price of eau de parfum. There is also a dressing room, but its sound is less rich and saturated, however, the cost is lower.
However, every perfume connoisseur will say that if you buy Guerlain Samsara, then only in the form of perfume. They are the very legendary, original fragrance that takes its owner to India, to the origins of Buddhist philosophy and contemplative mood.
Interestingly, the line also includes a Samsara tester (15 ml), shower gel and body lotion. And now they have begun to produce toilet water in a new bottle - goldcolors, with a sort of scaly relief. An interesting idea, but many connoisseurs say that the real Samsara should be in a red bottle. Although it is associated with passion, and not with gold, it looks nobler. It is the red color that matches this fragrance.
