to want a bottle of Samsara perfume for Christmas?

[Mintyy]

People hate it don't they!

I love it - makes me feel young as used to wear it in 1990s.

I wore it in the 90s too. I quite fancy a bottle now, but perfume brings me out in blotches now :(

Love it, but I prefer Shalimar.

Wilson Thank you so much; I was reading the thread trying desperately to remember the perfume my mum used to wear! Opium it was

I was a Body Shop Dewberry addict until I was about 14, then graduated to CK One. Can't stand the smell of that now

My best friend used to wear Samsara when we were hitting the town aged about 16 or 17 Go for it OP, it's lovely!

yanbu I love it. I got some last xmas cos not had any for years and just finished it.

Perfectly reasonable. Definitely more reasonable than my buying Giorgio Beverly Hills and wearing it in public

do you get slung off MN if you used to wear, and love the smell of Poison. I know it brings on a migraine in the most hardy of people but the smell gives such lovely memories.

Love Samsara! I like all the old-school Guerlain perfumes.

i used to wear this 20years ago - absolutely adored it but about 5 yrs later i changed my smell/taste and stopped wearing it

but always recognize smell on others and reminds me of when i used to wear it

I love it!

Ooof drbonnie even my mother of Samsara and Opium fame only wore Poison when she was on a promise. That woman must have a nose of steel, now I come to think about it

I have never heard of it.

wilson, looks like I need to get myself some poison then

Yes...

Ah, poison was glorious when I was 15! Then we went all upmarket and changed to Samsara because we decided Poison was cheap and tarty!

I quite like the VB perfume . fresh

go for it.

It's my mum's day to day work perfume.

everytime I smell it it makes me think of a cuddle from her. cheers me right up. It's like a comforting smell.

Buy it ! Buy it! If I wasn't so utterly bloody skint I'd buy myself a bottle as it is my all time favourite perfume. Always used to get comments when I wore this. It's actually thanks to this perfume that DH and I met. I caught him sniffing the back of my neck in a night club queue !

(Wanders off to smell the testers in Boots). If anyone fancies getting rid of a bottle then they can send it to me

I am tempted by Georgio now.

And some Kouros for DH

Many moons ago I worked in the offices of Geurlain. Staff were allowed to buy damaged returns for £1 per item, whatever it was - an eyeliner or a bottle of perfume.

The staff never really bothered, but once I got there they had to change the policy as I was buying every single thing that came back! We has drawers and cupboards full of samsara perfumes, soaps, body lotion etc. It lasted us years!

My mum loved Samsara so much. I have a bottle of hers in drawer that I take out for a little sniff sometimes to imagine she's still here.

Aw, that's sweet Paula.

Does anyone else think that Diesel perfume Loverdose sounds like something you'd be ashamed to admit to down the clinic? Ewww.

Oh it's just lovely that Samsara makes some of you think of your mum.

I am 51 so probably about the same age.

Am definitely going to put this on my list .

Shalimar is better. Remember when everyone wore Poison? Now THAT was pure evil.

Oh, yeah, just read thread-everybody remembers it!
My fave Guerlain is Nahema. Luffly that is.
