The perfume of harmony. Samsara is a very sensual version of seduction, for a distinguished, radiant & generous woman who has found harmony & balance, which is notably conveyed through the composition's raw materials. Jasmine & sandalwood are sacred essences, the perfumes of temples & the gods. Powdery & vanilla notes magnify this harmonious union. It was at the Musée Guimet in Paris, a renowned museum for Asian art, that Robert Granai found inspiration for creating the shape of Samsara. The bottle is flamboyant red, a sacred color, which evokes through the fullness of its shape a statue of a Khmer dancer. The stopper echoes the shape of the eye of the Buddha, a symbol of meditation, which leads the way to detachment, supreme awakening & Nirvana. Fragrance Description.

Lastly, iris, Tonka bean & vanilla harmonize & render this remarkable fragrance sublime. Perfumer's Secret.
