The sandalwood in it really was spectacular, but, for some reason I can't fully explain, although I definitely loved it, I never came to feel life would be incomplete if I didn't stockpile it. I finally finished off the last of the second bottle of extrait last year and after reading your review, am having a renewed craving for it and think I'm going to have to try out the new version of the extrait (the best for the sandalwood, or at least it was in the past) or maybe start to hunt down a very old vintage bottle on etsy or one of the auction sites. And can I just say how strange it seems to me that I just wrote "very old vintage" about a perfume released when I was in my late 20s? Sigh. <br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-13019671950715266532014-03-14T15:40:52.782-04:002014-03-14T15:40:52.782-04:00I actually hated Samsara when it was launched!

My favourites are pre-97 eau de toilette, and parfum. The edt is sheer yet rich, and the parfum is like buttah and wears close to the skin. I could almost drink it.Jane at Daly Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355174520496222911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-64378318634995239182014-03-14T13:08:16.749-04:002014-03-14T13:08:16.749-04:00I wore my vintage extrait yesterday.

Like you, it took me several years to appreciate this beauty (did it improve in relation to the modern aroma-chemical laden fragrances?), but I now have three vintage bottles stashed away: two EdPs and one extrait. The extrait actually goes on oily from all of the real sandalwood!

In fact, I think I must have spilled a drop on the carpet because it also overpowered my bedroom for a few days after I sampled it! Nevertheless, I'm tempted to find some of that new batch and see if it's more wearable now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-58983368376518287902014-03-14T10:03:49.916-04:002014-03-14T10:03:49.916-04:00I have recently rediscovered a bought-new-now-vint...I have recently rediscovered a bought-new-now-vintage bottle of Samsara on my shelf and I have been blown away by how incredible it is.
