I wouldn't be half surprised to learn that Samsara was a Guerlain attempt at nicking a niche into the market inhabited by Coco. Both feature fairly assertive rose, jasmine, and ylang ylang mid-ranges...

Ah, well, I am starting to see Kingdom at the clearance racks, or at least marked down by 30% at the E-tailers, so I wonder if this exercise in fragrance mismarketing is soon to be in the loss leader ...
