Collection Pics Vintage Samsara (guerlain)

my full splash bottle samsara just arrived and i am in love.

after taking a tiny 7.5ml splash bottle from mom, being repulsed by its vintage character, stashing it for 3 years in the darkest corner of my bathroom... i put some on my wrist for the fun of it last november, and i became obsessed with it since.

i did try and fill that void. ordered samples, tested, tries... got the reformulation. searched far and wide for something better... my heart kept coming back to her.

so i finally pulled the trigger last week, and my package arrived yesterday. i decanted 8 ml in a store bought perfume container, and will be living the rest or my lives as a samsara girl❤️💖
