About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Un Air de Samsara, launched in 1995, is a lighter, greener interpretation of Guerlain's classic Samsara. Composed by Jean-Paul Guerlain, it opens with a brisk blend of mint, bergamot, and lemon, giving a sparkling, aromatic lift. The heart reveals a bouquet of narcissus, jasmine, and iris—floral yet grounded by a subtle earthiness. As it dries down, Mysore sandalwood and herbal notes provide a creamy, woody base that echoes the original but with a fresher, more transparent character.
This fragrance suits collectors who appreciate vintage Guerlain and seek a wearable, daytime-friendly scent. Its green and aromatic accords (green 100%, aromatic 81%) make it ideal for spring and summer, while the white floral and yellow floral nuances add elegance. Perfect for those who find the original Samsara too heavy but still crave its sandalwood core. A refined choice for the office or casual outings, it remains a hidden gem in the Guerlain lineup.
中文簡介
1995年推出的Un Air de Samsara,是Guerlain經典Samsara的輕盈綠色變奏,由Jean-Paul Guerlain調配。前調以薄荷、佛手柑和檸檬帶來清涼柑橘氣息;中調是水仙、茉莉和鳶尾的花香,略帶泥土感;基調則以邁索爾檀香和草本notes收結,保留原版的檀香底蘊,但更通透清爽。綠色調同芳香調突出,適合春夏日常使用,也適合覺得原版Samsara太濃郁、卻鍾情檀香的用家。氣質優雅自然,辦公或休閒場合皆宜,是Guerlain收藏中容易被忽略的佳作。
