· Pure Oil One Ounce, Half Ounce, Quarter Ounce & 14-day Sample Sizes

Let us introduce you to your fragrance the way it was meant to be - Pure perfume without alcohol or other useless & toxic fillers. Discover what the designer had in mind - smooth, long-lasting, rich, balanced and full of luscious aroma. Never offensive or overpowering, long lasting and balanced. They occupy only your own private space and leave a gentle trail only where you choose.

Just like jewels, pure fragrance oils vary tremendously in quality. We have put an enormous amount of effort into selecting the best possible quality pure fragrance oils of every type and the thousands of positive store and fragrance reviews are proof. We've been changing the way people think about fragrance since 1996 with many happy & beautiful smelling customers to prove it.

Day after day, customers tell us our versions smell better than the originals. Perhaps the lack of alcohol and, in many cases, higher quality oils than those found in the "original" makes the difference. Ounce for ounce, our perfume bottles contain fifteen to twenty times as much pure perfume oil as the typical Eau de Toilette, but choosing pure fragrance oils is not so much a question of saving money, as it is of getting your money's worth.

Usage:
A drop or two at most should be all you need. Unlike conventional perfumes, our oils are alcohol and filler free, so it may take a minute or two for the slowly warming scent to emit its full bouquet. The fragrance will be smoother and better balanced than any alcohol-driven aroma and well worth the wait.

Our fragrance oils last most people six to twenty-four hours, depending upon skin type, evaporating naturally during the course of the day. Our pure perfume oils also last longer in the bottle - commercial perfumes with fillers spoil, sometimes in as little as twelve months, but pure perfume oils retain their fragrance year after year.

This is close, but not exact
Samsara was one of my Nana's signature fragrances when I was a child so I am very familiar with it. There is a soapy quality to this upon application (very close to the smell of the original Neutrogena Rain Bath...the dark brown one).

The dry down definitely has the DNA of Samsara, but it doesn't hit the same way I remember it smelling. However, this may be the closest we'll ever get so 4 stars it is.

Love this scent
I wore Samsara years ago. I put some on my wrists and a little beneath my earlobe. That was at 6am it's now 4:30 and I can still smell it.

I am delighted!
Dealing with the Fragrance Shop was wonderful! I was thrilled to discover it is a North Carolina business that offers quality products and exemplary customer service. Thank you.

Splendid!
I have the Dry Body Oil, and couldn't be more pleased with it than I am. Come autumn I will buy the essential oil. It seems to me to be very true to the original, in all its marvelous splendor of flowers and woods.

Not like the original
I was looking forward to this sample the most, since I adore the original but am allergic to it. While this had some fleeting notes in the beginning that resembled Samsara a little bit, I am sad to say that this does not even come close to the original. An entirely different fragrance. I would give it one star for the non-resemblence, but give it 3 stars for the potency.
