Guerlain commits to the bee, sentinel of the environment

The scent of absolute love

Samsara is part of Guerlain’s Legendary fragrance collection. A collection made of emblematic fragrances, composed for more than a century by 5 generations of Perfumers. These mythical pioneer perfumes compose a unique olfactive library, that the Maison Guerlain endeavors to preserve.

Samsara is an elixir of seduction for a woman who has found harmony and balance, which is notably conveyed through the composition's raw materials : the sandalwood and a jasmine used only for religious offerings until then.

Designed by Raymond Guerlain, its iconic “inverted heart” bottle is underscored with graceful scrolls typical of Art Nouveau. Its avant-garde stopper, in the form of a hollowed heart, evokes the delicate romanticism of this perfumery masterpiece and represented a real technical feat at the time.

A legend of sacred love, a radiant balance of jasmine and sandalwood

From the moment it takes flight, Samsara envelops with its prevalence of jasmine flowers. Sunny ylang-ylang flowers accentuate this all the more by marrying them with the generously radiant warmth of sandalwood. Finally, iris, tonka bean and vanilla enhance and unify the pairings to create a remarkable fragrance trail.

JASMINE

Jasmine grandiflorum absolute comes mainly from India. First the flowers are processed to create a concrete before being transformed into an absolute.Picked at dawn, jasmine grandiflorum, brings a green, fruity jasmine note to fragrance.

Sandalwood

Sandalwood essence comes mainly from Australia where the wood is harvested and distilled.
Sandalwood gives fragrance a woody, creamy note.

Ylang ylang

The ylang-ylang flower grows in the Comoros Islands. Too fragile to travel, it is directly transformed into essential oil via direct fire distillation.
Ylang-ylang essence is floral and sunny.

HOUSE SECRETS

Samsara is the first woody women's fragrance in perfumery. It is constructed over a beautifully crafted sandalwood, used for the first time in these quantities in perfumery.
