Reviews of Samouraï (1995)
by Alain Delon

Reminds me of Canali's line of frags especially Black Diamond (which is awesome). A good cologne without it going overboard. Fresh woody with a bit of vanilla.

i really like this one, & its not so readily available,so you dont have to worry about smelling like ten guys in the same room

Fresh and deliciouswith a fruity,creamy opening.The fruit lasts but combines with floral and leather notes (maybe the tarragon)on the drydown reminding me of Joop but more complex.
I love this fragrance-it moves from fresh and invigorating to sexy and sensual and on me it lasts well too.This one's a winner!

For me its the best everyday's scent for almost all kind of occasions. Brilliant, sparkling, sexy, modern while not pushing or follwoing a particular trend. I am always returning to Samourai and its for me the closest of being the signature scent. Its not easy to grab hold of it. Its among the top selling fragrances in Japan!
Its the first one of my top ten:
Samourai by Alain Delon> for being the best everyday scent
Elements by Hugo Boss> for being the perfect autumn smell
Green Jeans by Gianni Versace> for being the ultimate outdoors smell
Sport de Paco rabanne> for being the perfect springtime fragrance
Vetyver by Fragonard> for being the perfect summer scent
AD by Alain Delon> for being the very first and surviving all the way. Brilliant in the winter
Bijan men by Bijan> for having the comfortable, warm aura of home
LHomme by Gianni Versace> for smelling like perfect summer glamour
Egoiste Platinum by Chanel> for being the perfect cool gentlemen fragrance
Salvatore Ferragamo> for smelling like grandmas backgarden

Just missed the top ten>

The first time i came across this fragrance i thought it was just going to be another fresh aquatic type of scent. But i was in for a surprise. This fragrance truly has a unique twist on freshness, it's peppery, sweet and floral. The pepper really adds some sexiness to this one, with all these elements combined it somehow still managed to have that fresh feel, a top of the line fresh oriental indeed. Superb!!

Clean, fairly bright scent that reminds me a lot of Joop's Nightflight scent. It starts out brightly, then dims down like a candle, though with the same essence. Has an aquatic quality to it, but it all depends on how the smeller interprets it, I think. Love the curvy bottle (reminds me of Chopard's Casran with its ergonomic design :-)) and blue colored liquid. Give it a whirl!

A beautiful fragrance. Fresh and aquatic with a strong rose scent that is very well blended and not completely dominant. Takes all the best elements of floral and aquatic scents and mixes them in a way that is just wonderful.

Remarkably fresh! Just one spritz on my wrist as I was walking out to my vehicle on a cold winter night, and WHOOOOOSH! It is a very, very unique oriental fragrance. It almost seems that the chilly air amplified it. More of the floral sweetness was evident. It makes me think of a Katana blade slicing through the frigid air on a starry winter night. I purchased a half full tester bottle for a mere $4.00 at a Discount Perfumery store. Great bargain, as this fragrance is quite difficult to locate. The elegant bottle and silver colored top are really classy too. This is a fragrance collectors "best kept secret" type of fragrance. BIG thumbs up!

Excellent light fresh oriental (although quite rare thing in fragrance world). Floral start points to brisk sharp heart note of spice. Mellows to vanilla and woody undertones in the base. Lasts forever. Definitely you can't go wrong with it. Perfect versatile everyday fragrance for both office and casual daytime purposes.

Familiar yet different.A headturner indeed.

This is a GREAT scent. It IS different for a scent that is both fresh and warm. It has a very unique (bend) on a marine type scent. This is going to get you a lot of compliaments, and make you "feel" good, while wearing it. Try this one.

Well said, Mark! Samourai is indeed unique.A fresh floral oriental. Some will think it's a bit feminine, but the special spice blend counterbalances this.

ONE OF THE RICHEST, MOST UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL SCENTS YOU CAN FIND ANYWHERE
