I love it. It's one of my favourites.

geekcheeks · 02/12/2013 19:08

go for it, its all fashion and fads with perfume! i still love obsession :)

Yama · 02/12/2013 19:08

Samsara is truly awful.

Leviticus · 02/12/2013 19:08

YANBU! I bought a bottle earlier this year. It takes me right back...

HoneyDragon · 02/12/2013 19:09

Well I like it it. I'll sniff you and say you smell gorgeous.

newfavouritething · 02/12/2013 19:11

Do it! I'm currently covered in white musk after getting drunk at a body shop party and ordering my youth! And everyone seems to love it!

Buffieorpington · 02/12/2013 19:12

I want to like it but it reminds me of light purple solid lavender furniture polish in tins. Now Ysatis on the other hand ....

MistAllChuckingFrighty · 02/12/2013 19:15

heh

Samsara used to be my signature perfume. I loved it, haven't smelled it in years, I might have a spray in Debenhams tomorrow Smile

capsium · 02/12/2013 19:16

I think different perfumes smell different on different people though. Perfumes smell different on my mother to me. We can both try one perfume on and it smells nice on her but awful on me...and visa versa

Mintyy · 02/12/2013 20:02

You are quite right capsium.

My daytime winter perfume is Clinique Aromatics Elixir and people are always saying how nice I smell. But I know it can smell like disinfectant on some people!

Love it,Shalimar is my favourite though!

IrateCrank · 02/12/2013 20:05

I don't think I can place Samsara now.

I tell you what has been no good for me though. Reading that fancy Perfumista thread over in S&B. makes me want want want, but the perfume shops in my area are more Lady gaga Joocy Booty or whateever

Only1scoop · 02/12/2013 20:06

Sorry Op yes it's awful Hmm

MrsDavidBowie · 02/12/2013 20:08

I love it, but can only wear it in the evening in winter. it's far too heavy for daytime.
I wore some last Saturday and felt very exoticGrin

for daytime I use another Guerlain perfume, Chamade. Have used it for 40years.

TapirbackFucker · 02/12/2013 20:12

You can have my bottle of Samsara if you want OP.

Dh loves the smell, so he bought me some. I am deeply allergic to it though and cannot wear it without having to have a trip to the nearest A&E Sad.

ShylaMcClaus · 02/12/2013 20:12

I bought some last year. To me, it's the smell of the nineties Grin

AchyFox · 03/12/2013 00:29

The film is amazing.

caruthers · 03/12/2013 00:32

I still wear Blue Stratos even though my wife hates it.

She actually calls it wife repellant Smile

drbonnieblossman · 03/12/2013 00:33

love samsara.

love Givenchy Amarige too.

they don't make 'em like they used to.

Elsiequadrille · 03/12/2013 00:37

One of my friends always wears this (and has done since she was a teenager). It smells lovely on her

Yanbu

SnookyAnyFuckerPooky · 03/12/2013 05:09

Buffie,Ysatis is gorgeous, love it. Also Rive Gauche. I hardly ever buy modern perfume.

happydaze · 03/12/2013 05:32

This has reminded me of perfumes of my youth, loved sun moon and stars, really pretty bottle with, er, sun moon and starts on it Grin

And stumbled across an ad for 'Limara' body spray a while ago, can't remember what it smelt like but the music was amazing pure '80's soft rock wallows in nostalgia

happydaze · 03/12/2013 05:33

stars!

Mintyy · 03/12/2013 10:37

Right, that's me decided then! Glad to see I've stirred a few old memories Smile.

OMG my mum used to wear Samsara. Makes me feel all nostalgic. Grin

She also went through an Opium phase but after a bottle smashed in the carpeted walk-in cupboard in my bedroom I can't bear the smell. Had to move to my DGMs for a week till it faded a bit
