Vintage Samsara is a beautiful expression of floral oriental perfumery, built around an extraordinary marriage of jasmine and creamy Mysore sandalwood. It opens with luminous citrus, peach, and golden ylang-ylang before unfolding into a rich floral heart. But it is the sandalwood that makes this fragrance memorable: smooth, milky, warm, and almost buttery, with a depth that gives the composition its signature character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is not a light, transparent floral.
