The classics are immortal. This famous expression is uniquely applicable to the spirits of "Guerlain Samsara", which are produced for almost 30 years.
How did the story of their creation begin? How did the idea of aroma come from? 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 aroma is truly legendary.
A bit of history
In 1828, the Guerlain House was created in France. Its founder was Pierre Francois Pascal Guerlain - an alchemist who received higher education in this specialty in England.
The perfume house, which today is one of the oldest and most famous in France, was at first an ordinary pharmacy store. In his cellars, Pierre Francois mixed his scents.
He had few clients at first, but they were all famous personalities. He even ordered aromas from Napoleon III and Balzac. By the way, the cologne Guerlain Eau De Cologne Imperiale, which is still being produced, was specially developed for the first president of the French Republic.
But it is worth returning to the discussion of the aroma of "Guerlain Samsara". He appeared at a time when the head of the perfume house was Jean-Paul - the grandson of its founder. It was under his leadership that the company became a world famous brand.
Fragrance Creation
Perfume "Guerlain Samsara" appeared in 1989. The name for the mysterious aroma from Sanskrit is translated very interesting. Samsara is an endless life circle, the place where East and West meet.
The flavor is very suitable for this name. It gives its owner a certain unpredictability, sexual sensuality and mystery. These spirits create an atmosphere of originality, perfection and complete harmony. It is as if their delicate exquisite plume directs to serenity, calmness and inner contemplation.
The Guerlain Samsara fragrance enhances the appearance of the bottle. It is made in an attractive deep red color, and the shape is a bit like the shape of a dancer from Cambodia.
It is interesting that these perfumes, however, like many others from the perfume house, were dedicated to the woman who was the inspiration, the muse for Jean-Paul Guerlain. Her name was Desia de Pau. She not only won the heart of the perfumer, but also became his wife.
But the girl did not use perfume, because for all the years of her life she did not find “her” scent. And could Jean-Paul, a famous perfumer, leave his beloved woman without her own smell? Of course, he was inspired.
Guerlain quickly figured out the tastes of Desaia, and created perfumes specifically for her. Later, Jean-Paul wrote: "Then I had only one desire - to give this woman that world that would reveal her true essence and true sensuality"
Perfume Description
It is very difficult in words to explain exactly how the perfumes of Guerlain Samsara smell. Better than any long descriptions would be one short breath, which definitely excited millions of receptors in each person. But it’s worth trying to “explain” the smell of these perfumes.
The aroma is classified as woody, oriental, oriental. It contains the following notes:
- Initial: ylang-ylang, bergamot, peach, lemon and herbs.
- Middle: violet, rose, iris and its root, daffodil and jasmine.
- Basic: sandalwood, musk, iris, vanilla, ambergris, as well as the fruits of the Diperix tree.
Samsara perfumes are called a sensual, captivating and quivering aroma, which at the same time is characterized by intensity and serenity.
The first meeting with the fragrance
The manufacturer Guerlain Samsara was described above, so now you can pay attention to the reviews.
Most girls who use perfume claim that this is a masterpiece perfume. Not surprisingly, after all, head over heels, a man in love could not do something mediocre.
Although some girls, for the first time breathing in the perfume of Samsara, do not feel much enthusiasm. In this case, you need to temporarily postpone the test strip, and after some time return to it. Surely notes that unfold over time, like.
No? Of course, there is a possibility that the aroma just did not suit your taste. But the vast majority of women are convinced that such a beautiful smell cannot but like. Perhaps for a girl his time has not yet come. It happens. It's like with food: many in childhood hate olives, and at an older age they begin to adore.
Only here is a slightly different situation. Since this is not about food, but about aroma - serious, thoughtful, immersive, not frivolous. You need to understand him, come to him, feel and comprehend.
What is the scent on the skin?
And here it is impossible to give a definite answer. Because on every girl the same perfume is 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 ylang-iris train.
Others say that they feel a distinctly warm, thick, even dense, but incredibly alluring vanilla smell that even confectioners will envy.
There are also girls who claim that after wearing "Gerlen Samsara" invigorating notes of bergamot and tart greens, slightly softened with sweet ylang-ylang, prevail on them.
There are frequent cases when women claim that this aroma has a pleasant tarry sound, shrouded in a thin trail of vanilla, spices and even powder.
Sweet, rich, enveloping, capricious, sensual, energetic, sundae, vintage ... With what words the perfume “Guerlain Samsara” does not characterize girls. The description of the fragrance based on their reviews can be very detailed, on several pages. It is important that there are no negative reviews about this perfume. Yes, some admit that the aroma is very complicated. But this is not a minus, but only one more feature that makes Guerlain Samsara even more attractive.
Retro echoes and the smell of blood
With such loud phrases, girls who have not figured out this perfume rush towards Samsara. Indeed, from many women who discuss this romantic fragrance, one can hear that perfumes smell of blood, and they also “age”.
Some consider 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 - the pain that happens when you calm down after a long tantrum.
Very gloomy. But such an opinion also exists, and one cannot fail to mention it. Although the vast majority of reviews of Guerlain Samsara, girls familiar with such spirits 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 in favor. However, this is completely wrong. Perfume "Guerlain Samsara" has no age. It is just for women - beautiful, sensual, attractive. For true ladies and ladies, and not for glamorous girls or persons from the market. Such a counterargument is given by girls who do not agree with the statement about retro-echoes.
And besides, these perfumes were released all in 1989. Where would retro come from? However, one cannot argue vigorously here. Since the topic of perfumery is as subjective as possible. Perhaps a small part of the girls, due to their associations and specifics of 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 bottle “Gerlen Samsara” will convey the true nature of its appearance. It’s good that there are photos. But in life, he looks much more attractive.
A strict bottle of perfect shape, deep burgundy color. A beautiful, saturated color that embodies life itself, passion, challenge. It eclipses all the other bottles that stand nearby. He looks like he's imbued with a spirit. However, the fragrance itself prompts such thoughts - is it so “lively” and meaningful.
And in what packaging are these perfumes offered! Such a gift for a woman on March 8 does not need to be additionally packed in a festive box or bag. No wrapping paper will overshadow the nobility and sophistication of this presentable, royal packaging.
Who is Samsara suitable for?
Initially, this fragrance was created for a luxurious, somewhat languid and fatal woman who knew balance and harmony in her life. Only such a lady is suitable for this sensual perfume variation on the theme of seduction.
True connoisseurs express themselves even more simply - Samsara perfumes are created for the ideal woman. And this is not about the beauties from the covers of glossy magazines. That is too demonstrative, standard, already familiar to all beauty.
Samsara for women who are personalities, unique seducers only for their only men. It is not without reason that the topic of relations is touched upon, since the smell itself has become the fruit of sincere, boundless love in its pure embodiment.
Samsara is the smell of a woman. Calm, self-sufficient, pacified, 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. Such an aroma is perfect for her. And she, having tried “Samsara” once, will no longer be able to use other spirits. Tens of thousands of girls are proof of this.
Do you like men?
Quite often this question arises. If you carefully study the reviews of girls left about this fragrance, you can see how many of them with admiration describe the reaction of young people to Samsara. Even if it was they who gave them these perfumes. Again, on a person, perfume is revealed in a special, unique way.
In the eyes of a man, the owner of such an aroma becomes as if sexier, more charming, more elegant, more elegant. And this is not surprising. The scent of love simply cannot create another aura around the girl.
Moreover, in the world of sensual relationships, smells play a very significant role. The sense of smell is a peculiar foundation of human feelings. And the smell is the information that characterizes the person, is a kind of "indicator" of the internal and external state of a person.
Therefore, that girl, who by her nature possesses all the qualities listed above, having smothered a little with Samsara, becomes even more attractive, passionate and alluring. This fragrance silently hints a man at her ardor, opens the curtain of secret desires. “Samsara” characterizes a girl without words. And in the best way.
The exciting effect in this case is even logically explainable. Ylang-ylang, which is one of the notes of these spirits, is the king of aphrodisiacs - substances that stimulate attraction and sensuality. Also attractive 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 pathogen.
However, if you delve into the study of this topic, you can find that absolutely all the components of the aroma have the properties of aphrodisiacs. Except for one gentle and innocent violet.
Season and time
Many are interested in when it is best to wear this fragrance on themselves. Most women say that time and season have no meaning whatsoever for them.
They are simply infinitely in love with this fragrance, that's all. Therefore, they always use it:
- in the morning, at the exit to work;
- in the afternoon, on a sunny weekend before a walk;
- going out on a date in the evening.
Moreover, the aroma is very persistent - just one or two clicks on the spray bottle is enough to keep the smell on your skin or clothes for 2-3 days.
But some say that it is especially comfortable with Samsara in the evenings and winter. The smell warms, envelops and perfectly reveals in cool weather.
There are even girls who claim that they are almost sure of the ability to "touch" this fragrance - they call it tangible. In fact, no matter how it sounds, such a vivid, catchy description is quite revealing. Such emotions simply can not cause a mediocre aroma.
Where to buy and what is the price?
You can buy these perfumes brought from France (original) in proven 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 toilet, but its sound is less rich and rich, but 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, distinctive aroma that carries its owner to India, to the origins of Buddhist philosophy and contemplative mood.
It is interesting that the Samsara tester (15 ml), shower gel and body lotion are also in the line. And now they have begun to release eau de toilette in a new bottle - gold in color, with a 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 more noble. It is red color that corresponds to this aroma.
