Samsara means reincarnation. The idea behind reincarnation was that the designer hoped his beloved would attain eternal life through the cycle of rebirth. Guerlain’s Samsara perfume embodies the idea that reincarnation means being unable to stay together in this life, and hoping to meet again in another time and place. Its scent should evoke surging passion, restrained desire, and the loneliness left behind when one turns away.
The mysterious fragrance, from the Floral Fragrance collection, is said to have taken Paul eleven years to create. The perfume is made entirely from natural essences. In Sanskrit, samsara means the endless cycle of rebirth until nirvana, which is why the perfume bottle was inspired by Eastern stupas and pagodas.
