The review
On paper, Samsara is an outside bet if you want Samsara for less.
Oil Perfumery sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Samsara's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $133 per 100ml it costs 30% less than Samsara — the 2nd cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oil Perfumery publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on bergamot, lemon and ylang-ylang, turns to jasmine, narcissus and iris, and settles into sandalwood, vanilla and Tonka Bean. That is the brief Samsara is working from.

Base

- Tonka Bean
Creamy Mysore sandalwood buried in jasmine and vanilla; serene, enormous, unmistakably eighties Guerlain.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 4 twins of Guerlain Samsara we can price, Samsara is number 2 on price per 100ml.
