Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

PERFUME OIL #224 our duplication of SAMSARA scores 7.2 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Samsara.

The Dupe Spot 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.

Strength: perfume oil, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $26 it costs 77% less than Samsara.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dupe Spot 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

Guerlain Samsara is bergamot, lemon and ylang-ylang at first, jasmine, narcissus and iris at its heart and sandalwood, vanilla and Tonka Bean at the end. The Dupe Spot set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • bergamot
  • lemon
  • ylang-ylang

Heart

  • jasmine
  • narcissus
  • iris

Base

  • sandalwood
  • vanilla
  • Tonka Bean
Creamy Mysore sandalwood buried in jasmine and vanilla; serene, enormous, unmistakably eighties Guerlain.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
