About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Samsara, launched in 1989, is a landmark Oriental Woody fragrance from Guerlain, composed by Jean-Paul Guerlain. The top notes open with bright ylang-ylang and juicy peach, while the heart unfolds into a lush floral bouquet of jasmine, iris, orris, violet, narcissus, and rose. The base is a rich, enduring blend of sandalwood, iris, vanilla, tonka bean, amber, and musk. Collectors prize Samsara for its opulent, powdery-woody character, with dominant accords of powder (100%), wood (92%), and yellow floral (72%), underscored by iris (67%), sweetness (61%), and vanilla (60%). This vintage formulation is a must for those who appreciate classic Guerlain craftsmanship and deep, sensual orientals. It suits wearers who enjoy bold, sophisticated scents with a creamy sandalwood drydown, ideal for evening wear or cooler months. The interplay of powdery iris and warm woods creates a timeless elegance that remains captivating decades later.
