Which Should You Buy?
Journey Woman is a divisive beast, a ride that some find intoxicatingly complex and others, well, a bit nauseating. It's not a blind buy friendly perfume, but for those who get it, it's a rich, ever-evolving masterpiece. Prepare for a journey, indeed.
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.
