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.
A budget take on Amouage Guidance. The juicy pear-and-hazelnut opening over a creamy vanilla-sandalwood base captures the original's sweet, romantic, gourmand-floral character; reviews are mixed - some find it spot-on, others off - and it gives up much of the original's powerful 8-to-12-hour longevity.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

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
The sweet, creamy, gourmand-floral warmth shines in autumn, winter and cooler spring days and feels too rich for high summer.

A sensual, romantic sweet-floral built for dates and evenings that also suits cosy daily wear, a touch much for sport.
