Which Should You Buy?

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 - Saffron Lazuli Eau de Parfum
Saffron Lazuli is a polarising beast - some rave about its opulent, niche-quality saffron and leather, while others find it too intense or unoriginal. It boasts incredible projection and lasting power, so if you dare to wear it, prepare to make a statement.

Season and Occasion Fit

Guidance Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

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.

Saffron Lazuli Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its "beast mode" projection and strong, warm accords make it less suitable for typical office environments, though some reviewers defy this. It's perfectly suited for date nights and formal events where its luxurious character can truly shine, but too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.
