Which Should You Buy?

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.

Our Verdict - Rose Magnitude Eau de Parfum
This one is a proper divisive beast. Rose Magnitude aims for a dramatic, woody rose, but many find it leans too far into unpleasant territory like leather, floor cleaner, or even barnyard oud. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as it morphs wildly depending on your skin chemistry.
