Dupes for Guidance 46 Eau de Parfum
8 affordable alternatives - from £5
Original
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.

What makes a good dupe?
A good dupe captures the essence of the original fragrance - the same mood, the key accords, the general character - at a more accessible price point. It doesn't need to be a molecule-for-molecule copy. The best dupes feel right for the same occasions and carry a similar energy, giving you more ways to enjoy a scent profile you love.
We assess dupes by comparing the fragrance profile of the original against the dupe: shared accords, overlapping notes, similar longevity and projection, and occasion suitability. Our similarity scores reflect how closely the two fragrances align in character - not just raw ingredients.
