I had a bottle of Samsara once and gifted it to.a friend: I could only smell alcohol and a warm scent. I feel like I may be anosmic to jasmine! It was the weirdest experience! I want to try the new version of Candid! Thanks for your review!
Back in the day, oak moss was more of a fixative. I suppose galbanum was the ingredient most use as a green note. Not that oak moss doesn’t smell green.
I have to get my nose on candid. When I want sandalwood I start with my mysore sandal soap which is really affordable and either Samsara or Sensuous by Estée Lauder. Sensuous you can get pretty affordable on Joma shop.
Thank you for this; about Samsara when you spoke it seemed to be like you were talking about Obsession by KC. Such a beautiful sultry strong fragrance.❤
I believe that the Samsara in the red bottle still contains real sandalwood that is why vintage bottles are so expensive. The modern reformulation is supposed to be only a shadow of its former self. I wish I could smell the vintage Samsara.
@ruthannemackinnon588 Amazon has it for about $12. I have never heard of it before so I ordered it and the talc powder, it looks so exotic and expensive.
Have worn Candid on and off since the 1970s. Absolutely lovely. Avon has a lot of scents that are under the radar.
Original Samsara Parfum is one of the greatest perfumes ever created IMO. I have about 20ml and treasure it! Candid sounds very interesting!
Candid is one of my favourites! Never tried the cream though, so will definitely get some now. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your perfumes 🙌🏽🤩
Love Samsara❤
You have two treasures. ❤
The cream is de-light-ful! I don't know if it's currently on their website, but ebay should have a ton of options. :)

Samsara is my all time favorite, been wearing it since the 80's. I think they have changed it from the original.
Thank you for your fragrance reviews. Would you know of any other dupes for Samsara?

@@gloriaterry333 obsession is more spicy, closer to Tabu than Samsara
