Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Masque Milano's Times Square is a raucous, rubbery, lipstick-laden creation that screams 'big city chaos'. Not for the faint of heart, but undeniably captivating for those who want a scent with serious character.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its extreme projection and longevity, Guidance 46 is too potent for office, casual, or sport wear, risking overwhelming others. It truly shines for date nights or formal events where its commanding presence can be appreciated, though moderation is key.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and distinctive, unconventional aroma, Times Square is completely unsuitable for office wear. It truly shines for bold evening events or unique date nights where you want to make an impression, and is certainly not for casual everyday wear or sport.
