Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Guidance 46 EDP
Guidance 46 is a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention. Many hail it as a masterpiece, a smoother, more refined take on the original Guidance, while others find its intensity overwhelming and even unpleasant. This isn't a scent for the faint-hearted; it's bold, unforgettable, and polarising.

Our Verdict - No.341 Guidance Parfum
No.341 follows Amouage's Guidance, a fruity-incense niche fragrance built on olibanum, rose and sandalwood. The dupe delivers the calming, resinous warmth of the original but flattens its slow, multi-stage development into something more linear, trading Amouage's sophistication for a simpler, sweeter wear.
