 It's another unboxing guys. I'm so excited. Greetings fellow fragrance lovers. I am so excited with today's unboxing. I've got Galan, Samsara or Dopa. I mean just holding this bottle I already feel like I've got plus 10 with elegance plus 10 poise just by having this. I don't know there's just something about Galan and the bottle designs that I just love ever since I first saw them when I went to the counter in I think it was in Harvey Nicks. Yes, they have a boutique in Harvey Nicks. For those of you that are not British, Harvey Nichols is like a really big department shop that's got like different boutique places in it. But yeah, I've been so keen to actually buy another Galan. So one of my favorite perfumes is Mongolans and I have Mongolans in tents and I have Mongolans on the toilet and I generally like a lot of the Mongolans. I've got a sample of the aqua allegoria ginger picante. I loved the aqua allegoria coconut feast. So my plan is over the next few years I'll just be adding a galan to my collection every three months or so and then in a few years I should have a lot. But here we go. Now, I admit I only tried this once when I went into the shop way back, way back in December and I tried it once and I got a carded sample and I liked it. And when it came to buying another Galan because it was that time I was like I'm going to get some Sarah, you know, but I didn't actually try it on my skin. So this is going to be the first time that I get to try it on my skin. So the other thing is I fell in love with the idea of samsara when I read the history of this perfume. So first of all House of Galan has been around since the beginning of European perfumery in, you know, hundreds of years a hundred years ago. So it's got a rich heritage and a rich tradition which attracted me. I quite like vintage stuff but as well I like vintage clothes and I also like vintage sewing machines. So vintage perfumes, why not add it to the vintage list? And it's just really fascinating the story about how this came to be. So I'm going to check out the notes profile. So this has got a lot of notes. We have the top notes are Ilan Ilan, Peach, Begumette, Green notes and Lemon. Middle notes are Iris Jasmine, Narcissus, Oris root, Rose and Violet. And the base notes Sandalwood, I love sandalwood, Vanilla, I love Vanilla, Iris, Amber, Tonka bean, I love Tonka bean and Musk. So it's got, oh, you're not supposed to shake perfumes are you? I need to stop that. Right, here we go. I'm not getting anything off the bottle. I'm going to try this on my skin actually. Oh wow, the vaporizer, the atomizer. So I'm getting the lemon at the opening right there. That must be coming from the Begumette. The lemon is definitely coming through. And right from the start the sandalwood and the jasmine, they're there as well. It's very creamy. It's coming through from the sandalwood, the creaminess. I just feel like it's intoxicating me like, oh wow. If I had to think of this in terms of wine, in terms of red wines, this for me feels like it's a really full bodied, full rounded fragrance. And it's definitely, definitely immature. This isn't a fruity floral, celeb-scent type thing. This is I am woman and I have arrived, you know. And I am confident enough in my humanity to not push it all up in your face. Oh, I love this. I love this. I feel a certain difference already to the fragrance itself. I feel like it's pulling me up, you know, like it's pulling my spine to make me more poised, more straight, you know, lower those shoulders, shoulders back, chin up. It's like an air of mystery to it as well. And it's got this really beautiful, the jasmine. Oh my gosh, the jasmine in this is so beautiful. Now, I understand that this isn't the original formulation from what I have read. Some people say that, you know, it's now become a terrible formulation. But for somebody who wasn't doing perfumes, who wasn't even around in the 80s when perfumes were being bought, around in the sense of, you know, I wasn't working, I didn't have my own money, I was just a kid playing Double Dutch. This smells amazing. It absolutely smells amazing compared to the some of the other stuff that is around. Oh, I mean, I would love to actually try out a vintage original formulation of this, or at least from the 80s to see what the difference is. Because if people are saying that this isn't as good, my goodness, what is that original one like? But I love this. I feel like I would wear this with flowy fabrics, with like a flowy dress, maybe that's, you know, the sort of dresses that just sort of like the strap slips off a little bit, sometimes to show a little bit of your shoulder. And it's like a maxi dress. I can see myself. Yeah, I can actually see myself wearing this even in summer. And even right now, actually, that's the other thing. It does feel like something that I could wear in winter as well. So it's been about 10 minutes later now. And the maskiness is beginning to really come through. Oh, and it is so beautiful. It's heady. It's intoxicating. It's like walking past a jasmine plant that's like in full bloom. And it's towards sunset and it's like throwing out all of its heady intoxicating scent. I have to say, though, that even though it's been on my skin for a while, I'm still struggling to pick up the vanilla note. I know it's got vanilla in the base, but the sandalwood and the mask and the amber. So there's the warmth, the warmth is beginning to come through from the amber, but I'm struggling to pick up the vanilla bit. I love it. I am so glad that I got this and that I've added this to my collection. This is beloved plus the bottle is gorgeous. It's got the bees on it. It's such a beautiful looking bottle. And it's got those rounded caps that I really like, the sort of caps that you also have on Jessica Simpson fancy. I like these little ball caps. It's got such a beautiful vintage vibe. The atomizer bang on can't complain about that because not all atomizers are made equal. Fantastic edition. Hey guys, it's been about half an hour now. And I wanted to say that the Yilan Yilan has come forth and it's so bright and uplifting within this fragrance. It's given it a certain luminosity like a light has switched on on the inside. You guys, I love it. I'm going to be getting some more Gelan. It's official. It's official. I think it's my favorite perfume. I'm going to be wearing this tomorrow. This is going to be my scent for tomorrow. So that's Gelan, Sam Sara. Thank you so much for watching guys. I hope that you found that review, the unboxing informative and entertaining.
