However on my skin it develops into a very romantic and tender fragrance and at the end of the day it is powdery and soft like baby talcum powder. I love Samsara, always have, since its release, but at the time I was young and broke so I would stop at Selfridges on my way to or back from work and spray it on me.

Oooh, no q...Christine, thanks so much for writing.<br /><br />Oooh, no question: edp over edt. Although I do think the edt is great too. Of course, the best version is still the extrait, which you often stumble upon at French antique fairs... but I appreciate France may not be on your doorstep.<br /><br />As for that press release, yes, I know what you mean.

I wonder if you would prefer EDP (discontinued?) or EDT?<br /><br />Love your latest 'Love at first scent' episode 21 BTW! The press release of XS is one of the reasons why I no longer buy new releases from designer brands.

The Tom Ford stand many empty bottles, but I tried Champaca Absolute on a whim and it was delightful! <br /><br />Testing Samsara in a duty free shop is theBlehnnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173312734719772299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-86804728075349571452018-10-23T05:40:06.007+01:002018-10-23T05:40:06.007+01:00I love these big fragrances from the 80s.

Unfortunately my next international trip involves Heathrow & Houston, so I'm not holding my breath - although a visit to the local Sephora while in Texas is something I am looking forward to.
