Paying close attention to all the below reviews, I bought it UnSmelt. It was a disappointment to me; that is, I had hoped it would be a lighter version of the beautiful-but-unwearable (to me) Samsara, but I had to wash it off. Perfume Emporium was kind enough to allow me to exchange it, though. Instead, I'm trying out Samsara body wash in hopes the lighter scent in the bath may allow me to finally enjoy the original Samsara the way I originally had hoped.
Maybe it's just me, but my nose picks up a spearmint (?) note in this scent. IMO its a lot different than the original Samsara, but still very pleasant scent, more wearable in hot weather than the original.
One of my top ten favorites of all time! Your description was perfect! And I totally agree with your comments. Un Air de Samsara has that soft mint essence that is quite unique and lovely. The fragrance is like a heavenly daydream, and I wear it both day and night. Can't get enough of it and Guerlain SHOULD bring it back, because to me it is different enough to warrant a permanent place in perfume history. I wrote to them and told them of my love affair with Un Air. If everyone would do the same . . . who knows, maybe Guerlain will listen! I bought six bottles of it in the meantime, just in case!!!
This scent is absolutely my favorite. I like it more than the original Samsara cause it suits more occasions than Samsara. A much more practical scent for daily life. However, it does obtain the enchanting and the mysterious essence of Samsara in a much more delightful and amiable way. I feel like being in a luminous and tender daydream every time when I wear it. It is such a nice scent. Guerlain should really take it seriously cause it can bring lots of young fans for the long-history perfumery for sure.
I have the body lotion in the scent and I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. I didn't know that they have a perfume as well. It has a wonderful powdery smell that keeps you wanting more as the day goes on..........................................
This lighter zestier version of Samsara is perfect to wear in the daytime, then you can change to full strength Samsara in the evening. This fresher version is lovely for summer, the touch of mint is very cooling and complements the softness of the sandalwood.
But I prefer the original Samsara.
Lighter than original Samsara, very elegant and unique... I like it.
