Our Verdict - Guidance Eau de Parfum

Guidance is a serious love-it-or-hate-it affair, a beast-mode scent that demands attention. Prepare for effusive compliments or utter revulsion - this isn't for the faint-hearted.

Our Verdict - Guidance 46 Eau de Parfum

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.
