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.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Ember Blaze Eau de Parfum

A divisive beast - some adore its complex, bold character, others find it too much or just plain weird. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but worth trying if you're after something truly different and don't mind standing out.

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.

Seasons

Also Works:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its bold and projecting nature, driven by strong amber and woody accords, makes it unsuitable for the office but perfect for dates where you want to make an impression. It can also hold its own in more formal evening settings, though some might find the gourmand lean a bit too casual for certain occasions.
