Which Should You Buy?
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.
This is a seriously divisive scent. For some, it's a creamy, nutty dream; for others, it's an absolute scrubber that reeks of sweat and bad decisions. Not a safe blind buy, so test it, let it macerate, and then decide.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its nuclear projection and lasting power make it too much for most office environments, often drawing unwanted attention. However, its bold, luxurious profile is perfect for intimate dates or formal events where you want to make a statement, especially given the high compliment factor.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent, amber-woody character and strong projection make it too much for most office environments, but perfect for dates and evening events. The creamy, nutty sweetness also lends itself well to cooler weather casual wear, though some reviewers find it too intense for daily wear.
